I hadn’t read Rivals before. It seems very British so it wasn’t really on my radar, but it’s really fun. But after we wrap the tache is definitely going to go and I’m going to take a break – I’d love a big holiday!"

I found a copy of Rivals in the bedroom of a holiday rental. There was no way my mother would have kept such seditious material in the house. She took a dim view of Cooper's work. I'm sure the feeling would have been mutual. My mother is the sort of person Cooper lampooned in her books: a left wing, lower-middle class intellectual who didn't know her place. To be fair, my mother doesn't know her place. She suffers from the societal equivalent of body dysmorphia: she imagines she's far posher than she is.
