Synopsis: Jilly Cooper challenges the assumption that England nowadays is a classless society, and sets out to show how snobbery is alive and well and at home in the English mind. She chronicles the social attitudes and lifestyles of Harry Stow-Crat and his peers, Mr and Mrs Nouveau- Richards, and Jen Teale and her husband Bryan, and makes characteristically wry observations on the courtship behaviour, choice of furnishings, appetites and ambitions of the "merry-tocracy", the "telly-stocracy", and many other inhabitants of castle, Victorian terrace and council flat.
Jilly Cooper is a well known journalist, writer and media superstar. The author of many number one bestselling novels, including Riders, Rivals, Polo, The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, Appassionata, Score!, Pandora and Wicked!. She and her husband live in Gloucestershire. Jilly Cooper was appointed OBE in the 2004 Queen's birthday honours list.
