Emily

Emily

the light-hearted, hilarious and gorgeous novel from the inimitable multimillion-copy bestselling Jilly Cooper

Summary

ull of irresistible romance and laugh-out-loud moments, this is perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Marian Keyes, Dolly Alderton and Jane Fallon.

-----

If Emily hadn't gone to Annie Richmond's party, she would never have met the impossibly irresistible Rory Balniel; would never have married him and been carried off to the wild Scottish island of Irasa to live in his ancestral home along with his eccentric mother, Coco, and the dog, Walter Scott.

She'd never have met the wild and mysterious Marina, a wraith from Rory's past, nor her brother, the disagreeable Finn Maclean; never have spent a night in a haunted highland castle, or been caught stealing roses in a see-through nightie...

Yes, it all started at Annie Richmond's party.

Fall in love with Jilly Cooper, one of Britain's most popular authors, in this upbeat and unputdownable rom-com.
