Description
The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous by Jilly Cooper is a raucous romantic comedy set among the wealthy and scandal-prone residents of Rutshire. Lysander Hawkley is handsome, kind-hearted and irresistibly drawn to anyone who needs rescuing – particularly neglected wives. When his friend Ferdie suggests he could turn this talent into a career, Lysander finds himself hired to make jealous husbands take notice.
His unconventional new profession soon creates chaos among Rutshire’s privileged set, but matters become considerably more complicated when Lysander encounters the notorious conductor Rannaldini and his young wife Kitty. Convinced that Kitty needs rescuing from her difficult marriage, Lysander sets out to help her, drawing the legendary Rupert Campbell-Black into the resulting mayhem. With larger-than-life characters, complicated relationships, outrageous behaviour and plenty of humour, the novel combines romance and comedy with the extravagant social world for which Jilly Cooper is known.
