In My Own Words: Jilly Cooper

In My Own Words is a contemporary BBC series that gets inside the creative minds of some of Britain’s leading lights.
This episode celebrates a supremely insightful, funny and sharp-eyed chronicler of our lives and times: Dame Jilly Cooper.
Having sold over 12 million books, few other British writers have so consistently held up a mirror to the British as we really are – to our sex lives, class obsessions and the messy reality of our relationships. What does her extraordinary half-century of work reveal – not just about her world but about ourselves?
