Spotted an article I thought many writers and readers might find worth reading, especially if they remember (and enjoyed) books that came out in the eighties. I know I did!
Jilly Cooper has a new book out this year, and though for me football is not such an attractive topic as horse riding maybe if I read the book, I might change my view!
Clare Thorp says:
“If the covers are iconic, it's what's beneath them that has made Cooper one of Britain's most popular and biggest-selling authors for the last four decades. Cooper writes irresistible sagas of sex and shenanigans among England's rural upper-middle class society, featuring dashing cads, ambitious women, and a supporting cast of horses, hounds and huge country houses. The behaviour is bad, the sex copious, the parties raucous and the overall mood… well, rather jolly. Her characters manage to be deeply melodramatic, while never taking themselves too seriously.”“Turner – who plays Campbell-Black – has said making it has been the most fun he's had on any job in his career. A dose of pure pleasure is what many of us are craving at the moment, and, thankfully, it looks like Cooper will be spreading joy for some time yet.” Regrettably, Aidan Turner’s words are locked away behind a subscription wall but some of you will be able to read them.
