Plenty of drama, sex, scandal and horses to keep any fan happy. Author: Format: Paperback Release Date: When you read a Jilly Cooper you realise why there always seems to be so long between the publication of each novel.

You really can immerse yourself in another world; in Riders, there’s a world of loveable characters that are totally captivating, up to no good but excellent at it.
You cannot fail to laugh at them and crucially laugh with them. This is one of her best.A 'Piece of Passion' from the publisher.‘Horses, lust, handsome rogues, gorgeous females, and as much sex, romance and bad behaviour as anyone could wish for. In this book Jilly Cooper invents the classic bonkbuster, as we visit her ravishing world of Rutshire for the first time.'

Linda Evans, Senior Editorial Director at TransworldNovember 2009 Guest Editor Katie Agnew on JILLY COOPEROK, I admit it, it was the sauciness I liked at sixteen. Well, it was just plain naughty to read about polo players cavorting in the hay with stable girls, wasn't it? And they were all so posh!
I'd never met anyone with a double barreled name in 1988. But even as an adult I love Jilly Cooper's work. I can't bear literary snobbery. Her novels are sooo clever!
She creates entire worlds and pulls you right in. When I finish one of her books I get that same feeling of grief that I used to get at seven when I finished an Enid Blyton.
Author: Format: Paperback Release Date: A perfect drop of romance for anyone who wants an afternoon of pure escapism. Follow Imogen as she has her ugly duckling moment, transforming from mousey librarian in to a stunning St Tropez beauty. Don’t expect the raciness of Jilly Cooper’s Rutshire Chronicle novels, but this is charming and great fun.July 2009 Guest Editor Louise Wener on JILLY COOPERI rediscovered Jilly Cooper last winter, having not read her since I was fifteen.
As a kid I loved the books that concentrated on one woman, my favourite ever was Imogen. I can still remember the Pygmalion moment when she’s transformed from plain, meek librarian into sex siren with the help of a St Tropez tan (the real South of France one, not the bottle) and a decent hair cut. I started reading her again when my second baby was born and I was too tired to pick up anything that wasn’t instantly escapist and enjoyable.
Her books are like pop songs. Daft, delicious and perfectly crafted, as comforting as a hot mug of cocoa. Even in the midst of sleep deprived madness, I loved reading Imogen again. It’s a brilliant period piece on top of everything else. Author: Format: Hardback Release Date: 'There is no one else like Cooper' Guardian When Jilly Cooper, then a young Sunday Times journalist, was asked to write a book on marriage, she had been married to Leo Cooper for a mere seven years.
