Description
Jilly Cooper's The Common Years is a poignant and engaging portrait of life on a London green. Over the course of ten years, Cooper lived at the edge of Putney Common, where she kept a daily diary, recording her observations of the natural world and the people around her. This book is a collection of those diaries, offering a unique and intimate look at the joys and sorrows of life in a small community. Cooper's writing is both affectionate and honest, as she shares her thoughts on the changing seasons, her experiences with dogs and children, and the gossip and relationships that make up life in a small community. With lyricism and insight, she brings to life the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and the people who inhabit it. Through her writing, Cooper presents a nuanced and relatable picture of life, full of humor, heart, and a deep connection to the world around her.
