Mount!
Mount! | Jilly Cooper
6 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
Rupert is consumed by one obsession: that Love Rat, his adored grey horse, be proclaimed champion stallion. He longs to trounce Roberto s Revenge, the stallion owned by his detested rival Cosmo Rannaldini, which means abandoning his racing empire at Penscombe and his darling wife Taggie, and chasing winners in the richest races worldwide, from Dubai to Los Angeles to Melbourne. Luckily, the fort at home is held by Rupert s assistant Gav, a genius with horses, fancied by every stable lass, but damaged by alcoholism and a vile wife. When Gala, a grieving but ravishing Zimbabwean widow moves to Penscombe as carer for Rupert s wayward father, it is not just Gav who is attracted to her: a returning Rupert finds himself dangerously tempted. Gala adores horses, and when she switches to working in the yard, her carer s job is taken by a devastatingly handsome South African man who claims to be gay but seems far keener on caring for the angelic Taggie. And as increasingly sinister acts of sabotage strike at Penscombe, the game of musical loose boxes gathers apace."

I think this is mostly an American site (although I could be wrong) and I'm not sure if you guys have heard much of jilly Cooper, but she's my guilty pleasure. Think modern day Jane Austin with more sex and much more bad behavior. If you, like me, are a bad feminist, but like your heroines to love being women, this can't fail to make you smile. Jilly may be a toff, but she's no snob. Read it! (But start with 'riders' first) xx

MrBook Nice review! 8y

I'm of on holiday today, and have downloaded this to audible to listen to as I struggle to read when flying. I think it should be an ideal holiday "read"
