Jilly Cooper - novelist

Jilly Cooper was born on this day in 1937.  She is the author of a multitude of novels – many of them blockbusters.  I enjoyed most of all the novels based in the imaginary county of Rutshire.  She was a passenger in the Ladbroke Grove rail crash in 1999. 

Some people dismiss her work as chick lit.  But I just find her books an enjoyable read.

The books in the Rutshire series are:

Riders

Rivals

Polo

The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous

Appassionata

Score!

Pandora

Wicked

Jump
