Description
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!
The devastatingly funny expose of the English class system!

Reviews
Witheringly funny, illuminated by astonishing brilliance * Observer *
Enormously readable and very funny * Cosmopolitan *
Highly entertaining, acerbic and wickedly observant... certain to become as much part of the verbal shorthand as was Nancy Mitford's U and Non-U, a generation ago * The Economist *
