Class

A view from middle England

Class is dead! Or so everyone claims. Who better to refute this than Jilly Cooper!

Describing herself as ‘upper middle class’, Jilly claims that snobbery is very much alive and thriving! Meet her hilarious characters! People like Harry Stow-Crat, Mr and Mrs Nouveau-Richards, Samantha and Gideon Upward, and Jen Teale and her husband Brian. Roar with laughter at her horribly unfair observations on their everyday pretensions – their sexual courtships, choice of furnishings, clothes, education, food, careers and ambitions…

For they will all remind you of people that you know!

Witheringly funny, illuminated by astonishing brilliance

Observer

Enormously readable and very funny

Cosmopolitan

Highly entertaining, acerbic and wickedly observant...

The Economist

FAN FEEDBACK

Found it amusing with many comments which chimed with my own experiences.

B.B.

Magical insights into how the different strata of English/British tend to view each other. It is a subject that lends itself to being sent up, which the author does with aplomb!

J.C.

Cooper is right on the button, with candid, terrifyingly astute observations and the wicked wit which has made her such a success.

Karen

Read it with an open mind, and you'll laugh out loud, I promise!!

Anon.

An accurate but hilariously funny take on the fads and foibles across the socio-economic groups.
