Editions of Polo by Jilly Cooper - Goodreads
Octavia is one of Cooper's "name" books, which each bear a female character's name, and has been made into a television adaptation. It is set in Britain during the 1970s. [8] The broadcast ITV adaptation was produced with a screenplay which was written by Jonathan Harvey. [9] In 1975, Cooper published her first work of romantic fiction, Emily. It was based on a short story she wrote for a teenage magazine, as were the subsequent romances, all titled with female names: Bella, Imogen, Prudence, Harriet and Octavia. In October 1993, seven years after Private Eye had pointed out the similarities, Cooper admitted that sections of Emily and Bella were plagiarised from The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy, but said that it was not deliberate. [7] Octavia [ edit ] With Luke falling off the pedestal, that vacancy went to adorably scatty 30-something Daisy who lives and loves in total chaos. Even more adorable is Taggie, my favourite character from Rivals, who along with hubby Rupert continues to be Cooper's star. Each book of the Rutshire Chronicles is set in a glamorous and wealthy milieu, such as show jumping [19] or classical music. These aspects are contrasted with details of the characters' domestic lives, which are often far from glamorous.

Jilly Disney’s ‘Rivals’: Everything you need to know the new Jilly
One other thing that bugs me about Jilly's books is the fact that all of the most beautiful women are slender and predatory. There is usually a place for a tubby cheerful sort - here, Daisy and in previous books the likes of Lizzie - but they are not considered the beauties of the piece. I understand that the books were written when thin equalled beautiful, but it is a shame that a more healthy body image cannot be promoted. The stories heavily feature sexual infidelity and general betrayal, melodramatic misunderstandings and emotions, money worries and domestic upheavals.
