Jilly Cooper

El glamuroso y despiadado mundo de la televisión británica de los 80 nunca había sido tan cautivador: fiestas de lujo, aristócratas sedientes de poder y escándalos delante y fuera de cámaras. La novela de la famosa serie de Disney+ por fin llega a las librerias. Lord Baddingham esta decidido a conservar su franquicia de Corinium Television y para ello ha contratado a Declan O'Hara, una megaestrella irlandesa de los programas de entrevistas. Baddingham tambien ha convencido a Cameron Cook, una ejecutiva implacable y deslumbrante, para que produzca el programa de Declan. Sin embargo, un terremoto mediatico se avecina: Declan y Cameron se detestan. Es entonces cuando entra en escena Rupert Campbell-Black, un exdeportista convertido en politico tan guapo como descarado, que trae a todas las mujeres de la comarca de cabeza. Con la aparicion de un grupo de television rival que compite por la franquicia, las reputaciones se forjaran y se destruiran, el amor verdadero florecera y se consumira, los matrimonios se haran y se desharan, y todos lucharan en la cama y en la sala de reuniones por llegar a lo mas alto.Sobre Rivals han dicho: La manera en la que escribe Jilly Cooper es divertidisima, ingeniosa, mordaz e impecablemente entretenida.Helen Fielding, autora de El diario de Bridget JonesUna combinacion excelente de drama, sexo y comedia social No puedes dejar de leer.The Sunday Times Alegre y llena de picardia.

Sir Roberto Rannaldini, the most successful but detested conductor in the world, had two ambitions: to seduce his ravishing nineteen-year-old stepdaughter, Tabitha Campbell-Black, and to put his mark on musical history by making the definitive film of Verdi's darkest opera, Don Carlos. As Rannaldini, Tristan, his charismatic French director, a volatile cast and bolshy French crew gather at Rannaldini's haunted abbey for filming, it is inevitable that violent fewuds, abandoned bonking, temperamental screaming, and devious plotting will ensue. But although everyone wished Rannaldini dead, no one actually thought the Maestro would be murdered. Or that after the dreadful deed some very bizarre things would continue to occur. SCORE! is Jilly Cooper's most thrilling novel to date.

A novel about love, high living, intrigue and a missing painting. Raymond Kelvedon had been a dashing subaltern in 1944 when he had come across the glorious painting by Raphael depicting Pandora releasing the seven deadly sins into the world. The painting ended up on the bedroom wall of his beautiful home, Foxes Court, in the peaceful county of Larkshire. His tempestuous wife, Galina, entertained her lovers there as well as giving birth to her four children beneath its watchful gaze, but after her tragic and mysterious death, Raymond kept the painting hidden away in a tower room, its existence forgotten by most of those who ever knew about it. Now, Raymond has a gallery, a new wife and adorable young twins, as well as his four grown children. Then into all their lives erupts Emerald - lovely, talented and desperately searching for her real parents. Zach Ansteig, an attractive and mysterious American encourages her to go to Foxes Court where, he persuades her, her birth mother will be found. The Kelvedon family is outraged. But Zach is also searching for something - the Raphael Pandora, which he believes should belong to him.

In Jilly Cooper's latest, raciest novel, Rupert Campbell-Black takes centre stage in the cut-throat world of flat racing. Rupert is consumed by one obsession: that Love Rat, his adored grey horse, be proclaimed champion stallion. He longs to trounce Roberto's Revenge, the stallion owned by his detested rival Cosmo Rannaldini, which means abandoning his racing empire at Penscombe and his darling wife Taggie, and chasing winners in the richest races worldwide, from Dubai to Los Angeles to Melbourne.

When Gala, a grieving but ravishing Zimbabwean widow moves to Penscombe as carer for Rupert's wayward father, it is not just Gav who is attracted to her: a returning Rupert finds himself dangerously tempted. Gala adores horses, and when she switches to working in the yard, her carer's job is taken by a devastatingly handsome South African man who claims to be gay but seems far keener on caring for the angelic Taggie. And as increasingly sinister acts of sabotage strike at Penscombe, the game of musical loose boxes gathers apace ...Everybody loves Jilly Cooper: "Sex and horses: who could ask for more?

Two schools - both in leafy Larkminster, but worlds apart. The irrepressible Jilly Cooper turns her brilliant pen to the explosive world of education. At Bagley Hall, fashionable alma mater to many dashing and glamorous denizens of Larkshire, including Rupert Campbell-Black''s children, trouble is afoot. The ambitious and fatally attractive headmaster, Hengist Brett-Taylor, hatches a plan to share the highly superior facilities of his school with the students at Larkminster Compehensive - known locally, as ''Larks''. His reasons for doing so are purely financial, but he is encouraged by the opportunities the scheme gives him for frequent meetings with Janna Curtis, the dynamic new head of Larks, who has been drafted in to save what is a fast-sinking school from closure. Janna is young, pretty, enthusiastic, determined - and she will do anything to rescue her demoralised, run-down and cash-strapped school. The parents of Bagley Hall''s rich and pampered children are none too keen on this radical move, but the students see it as a great opportunity to get up to even more mayhem than usual. And for the pupils at the comprehensive school, many of them struggling with appalling home backgrounds, violence and lack of any parental support (problems which are not unknown to some of the Bagley Hall pupils) mixing with the posh school up the road is often a mixed blessing.

Two schools ndash; both in leafy Larkshire, but worlds apart. The incomparable Jilly Cooper turns her brilliant pen to the explosive world of education.
