Synopsis
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 pretentions — their sexual courtships, choice of furnishings, clothes, education, food, careers and ambitions...
For they will all remind you of people that you know!

An Expose of the English Class System
With drawings by Timothy Jaques
"Witheringly funny, illuminated by astonishing brilliance" - Observer
"Enormously readable and very funny" - Cosmopolitan
Synopsis: Jilly Cooper challenges the assumption that England nowadays is a classless society, and sets out to show how snobbery is alive and well and at home in the English mind. She chronicles the social attitudes and lifestyles of Harry Stow-Crat and his peers, Mr and Mrs Nouveau- Richards, and Jen Teale and her husband Bryan, and makes characteristically wry observations on the courtship behaviour, choice of furnishings, appetites and ambitions of the "merry-tocracy", the "telly-stocracy", and many other inhabitants of castle, Victorian terrace and council flat.
