Jilly is a terrific writer.  She gave us our lovely Lysander and Kitty and whole worlds of other characters.  If you love Stephen's movie The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, you will without a doubt love Jilly's book that it is based on.

"Don't you just adore Lysander? Oh he is such a darling, and of course Flora, she's so ravishing.  Youth just is so beautiful."  [Jilly Cooper, TATLER, May 1993]

And Jilly wrote lots of Other Books before TMWMHJ, 38 others actually, though not all of them fiction.  Some of the characters you would recognize, because they carry over from book to book, like the infamous Rupert Campbell-Black, or his darling wife, Taggie.  All of her characters are memorable and all of her books are ultimately uplifting and cheering and leave one feeling better for having read them. For more on Jilly go to: Jilly's Biography.

Another of Jilly's books is coming to the screen: Rivals! In conjunction with that event, she and Rivals Pictures LTD are launching a website: http://www.rivalspictures.com  One thing that might be of particular interest as a fan, is that they are going to have a Fan Club email newsletter, with ongoing news of the movie and of Jilly. If you are interested in joining her Fan Club, just click up this: Registration page

If you would like to drop her a line by snail mail, one address would be:
