THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE...

The gorgeous women of Churchminster know exactly what they want - a constant flow of champagne and the love of a good man.

But faced with the likes of beer-guzzling farmer Angus, foul-tempered Lord Fraser and suave banker Sebastian (devoted only to himself), their attentions are increasingly drawn to more attractive possibilities . . .

Meanwhile, when a part of their beloved village comes under threat from a villainous property developer and his bulldozer, the community is united by a different kind of passion and important questions occupy their minds:

Can they raise enough money to save Churchminster? And can a person actually die from too much extra-marital sex?

The Churchminster adventures continue in Naked Truths...

Praise for Country Pursuits

A right corker! Very much in the Jilly Cooper vein... fast, sexy, fun, and we think you'll love it - a lot

Closer

We love a steamy read we do, especially when it's set in the country. Scandal-a-plenty. Kind of like Emmerdale but with sex, champagne and hot men

Lose yourself in a good old bonk-buster... there's something for all tastes

Daily Mirror

A fantastic read! I couldn't put it down from beginning to end!

TARA PALMER-TOMKINSON

I read Country Pursuits in one sitting - it was a real hoot and unputdownable!

LORRAINE KELLY, GMTV

You just know it's going to be a tongue-in-cheek masterpiece... high class romping and underhanded business. Think Desperate Housewives meets posh totty

U magazine

As sinfully English as a hot buttered crumpet!

TILLY BAGSHAWE

Pacy, racy and enormous fun!

TASMINA PERRY

All hail the glorious return of the romp... Sexy, scandalous and all firmly tongue in cheek this'll have chick lit quaking in its Manolo Blahnik boots

Heat

Carnegie gives Jilly Cooper a run for her money... A rip-roaring romp with a cast of colourful caricatures... a racy read that'll have you snorting with laughter

Glamour

Jo Carnegie... will make even the rudest of readers blush with her saucy bonkbuster of a debut novel
