Prudence
by
Jilly Cooper
The trouble with the Mulholland family, Prudence decided, was that they were all in love with the wrong people. She'd been overjoyed when Pendle, her super-cool barrister boyfriend, invited her home for the weekend to meet his family.

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about Prudence. The story is set in the 1970s or 1980s and the attitudes during that period...were interesting. Anyway, I don't think the story picked up until Pru went to the country. Even then, though, I felt like I was watching a train wreck. I just found the personalities and decisions made by so many of the characters quite odd.

As usual, Jilly Cooper delivers and gives us a heroine that is both hopelessly misunderstood and scattered, and extremely likable and plucky. Easy and enjoyable holiday read, even if the romance between Pru and her true love seems a little rushed at the end.
Reread this when fed up / sick, have all of Jilly's novels from the same period. Men are total b******* on the whole and the women wimpy, but the humour is appealing all the same!

Classic Jilly in snippet form. Looking forward to her new book being released in Sept sometime, I miss the old set terribly.

nice enjoyable
I read these first Jilly cooper novels as a teenager and loved them - have a feeling I'd hate them if I re-read them (I sense they will have dated badly), but I don't intend to, so that's ok :)
I read a lot of Jilly Cooper when I was a young teenager and learned an awful lot from her! I loved it at the time and think its about time I read them all again!
