Angels Rush In: The Best of Jilly Cooper's Satire and Humour

by JillyCooper (Author)

Synopsis

Over the past 21 years Jilly Cooper has written a selection of best-selling books, mixing outrageous anecdotes from the lives of her family and friends with shrewd and wicked social satire and criticism. Men and Super Men was followed by Women and Super Women and then by the devastatingly outspoken bombshell, Class; the poignantly evocative The Common Years; the indispensable How to Survive Christmas and the essential handbook for Nouveau-Rustics, Turn Right at the Spotted Dog. All these and more provide the material for Angels Rush In, a rich and sparkling selection made and introduced by the author herself.
