Summary
Jilly Cooper has kept a diary about life on Putney Common. Noting the effects of the changing seasons and writing about her encounters with dogs and humans, Cooper creates an affectionate and enthralling portrait of her everyday life.
Cooper writes lyrically about the natural world, tellingly about the sorrows and joys of caring for dogs and children and outrageously about the gossip, illicit romances and jealousies of small community life.

Jilly at her best
Forget Rupert Campbell Black. This is the real heart warming story of Jilly's early years with her dogs, family an d friends on Putney Common. Written in her inimitable caustic yet very readable style her world comes alive an d you will love the descriptions of changing seasons, banter with fellow dog walkers, occasional sad times and the undercurrents which exist between people who live nearby and also love Putney and the Common. A delight of a book!!!

A love letter to the common
I really enjoyed listening to The Common Years, it is part nature journal, part diary and very honest. The common was easy to listen to although surprisingly heartbreaking in places. Imogen Church did a fantastic job with the narration and really brought everyone to life.

The common years
Loved the book. Would have liked to read a book that talks about her life since moving.

Favourite book
This is a favourite book and love reading/hearing it on a regular basis. I was though very disappointed with the narration- just didn’t work for me at all.
