Author:Jilly Cooper
Who will take the Cotswold Crown?
Into the cut-throat world of Corinium television comes Declan O'Hara, a mega-star of great glamour and integrity with a radiant feckless wife, a handsome son and two ravishing teenage daughters. Living rather too closely across the valley is Rupert Campbell-Black, divorced and as dissolute as ever, and now the Tory Minister for Sport.
Declan needs only a few days at Corinium to realise that the Managing Director, Lord Baddingham, is a crook who has recruited him merely to help retain the franchise for Corinium. Baddingham has also enticed Cameron Cook, a gorgeous but domineering woman executive, to produce Declan's programme. Declan and Cameron detest each other, provoking a storm of controversy into which Rupert plunges with his usual abandon.
As a rival group emerges to pitch for the franchise, reputations ripen and decline, true love blossoms and burns, marriages are made and shattered, and sex raises its (delicious) head at almost every throw as, in bed and boardroom, the race is on to capture the Cotswold Crown.

Jilly Cooper is the very best... elegant, glamorous, wonderful fun
—— Daily MailIt is satisfyingly long, addictive, bitchy, endearing and full of sex and hilarious one-liners
—— BooksI couldn't put it down
—— Sunday ExpressA combination of drama, sex and good social comedy... unputdownable
—— The Sunday TimesThe characters are not mere mouthpieces - above all else, this is a novel about a man who feels himself betrayed. Amin Jaafie's very human drama is the heart of this thoughtful and affecting work
—— Kamila Shamsie , New StatesmanProbably Khadra's most ambitious novel to date...[the] power is in the lucidity and the intelligence of the terrorists Amin despises
—— Gerry Feehily , IndependentA delightful first novel about a young Indian called Mousumi visiting her sophisticated relations in London ... A coming-of-age story with a difference.
—— Oxford TimesHugely gratifying in the way that only Cooper can be
—— Mail on SundayTriumphantly good
—— The Sunday TimesThe prospect of Jilly's return, with a novel set in the glamorous international art world and promising "oodles of bad behaviour, intrigue, passion, tears and laughter", will surely cheer all but the most misanthropic
—— BooksellerThere is enough plot for several novels here (enough sex for dozens), all vividly conveyed in the author's excitable style... Her many fans will not be disappointed
—— Literary ReviewThis modern day mythical fantasy is Anne Rice on an epic scale, a hugely imagined world. A chiller thriller from cold of Russia, this one's been selling like hot cakes around the world
