Jilly Cooper returns to horses in a fabulously entertaining romp through the world of jump racing
Jilly Cooper was a journalist, author and media superstar. The
author of many number one bestselling books, she lived in
Gloucestershire where her groundbreaking Rutshire Chronicles series
was set.
Awarded honorary doctorates by the Universities of Gloucestershire
and Anglia Ruskin, she also won the inaugural Comedy Women in Print
lifetime achievement award in 2019, and was appointed DBE in 2024
for services to literature and charity. She died in 2025.
Jump! is the perfect read for chilly autumn nights. Hugely
entertaining, touching and funny, yet again Cooper has a winner
*Daily Express*
This is definitely the most exciting book that landed on my doormat
this year. Cooper is a major genius... the narrative zips along,
pierced with her characteristically brilliant ear for dialogue and
empathy for human relationships of all kinds. You won't be able to
put it down
*Daily Mail*
Near-magical ability to conjure up a world and populate it with
people for whom you feel a deep affection
*Observer*
To read one of Cooper's books is to escape into an alternative
universe in which all is right with the world
*Guardian*
A fast-paced and enjoyable read
*Sun*
A magnificent portrayal of how a beautiful young girl might become
the first woman ever to win the Grand National
*Spectator*
Classic Cooper: either the perfect beach read or else something to
curl up on the sofa with to keep out the encroaching autumn
chill
*Sunday Express*
Jilly has given more pleasure to more girls and women than anyone
else alive today... Cooper's familiar warmth and irrepressible
humour
*The Lady*
Warmed by the tender characterisation that has made Jilly Cooper a
national treasure
*Countrylife*
Just the thing for a wet winter weekend
*Independent*
