Product Information

Cooper's recent works received a variety of responses from critics, with The Guardian praising "her near-magical ability to conjure up a world and populate it with people for whom you feel a deep affection" [4] and Express calling Jump "one of her most captivating novels yet." [5] The Rutshire Chronicles [ edit ] The world of smart women, handsome army officers, romantic school girls, lustful grooms, insecure wives... they have fire in their bellies (and generally in their groins too) and a massive appetite for life Nicholas Coleridge, The Sunday Times During a recent interview with us Aidan revealed more about his Rivals role: "I look like I’m from circa 1975 but it’s for Jilly Cooper’s Rivals, which I’m filming until October.

This is exactly the sort of snitty remark, by the way, that Cooper would expect of a hairy-legged feminist like me.

In the 1980s, Tabitha was still rare enough that you couldn't find it on mugs or doorplates. When I complained about this to my mother, she pulled a sententious face and said: "I gave you your name so you would have chances." She was a teacher and had seen colleagues running through the names in their registers on the first day of school, saying: "Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Hmmm, might be all right?"
