About this listen
Ricky France-Lynch had a large crumbling estate, a nine-goal polo handicap, and a beautiful wife who was fair game for anyone with a cheque book. He also had the adoration of 14-year-old Perdita MacLeod, who couldn’t wait to become a polo player. The polo set were ritzy and gloriously promiscuous. Perdita was a brat who loved only her horses and Ricky France-Lynch....
With Ricky's obsession to win back his wife and Perdita's to win both Ricky and a place as a top-class polo player, listeners, get ready to be taken on a wild journey!

Read this book when it first came out and loved it. So excited to get the audio version. The narration is poor and irritating. Very monotone.The awful “ huhs” at the end of sentences to indicate humour.However she can’t destroy the book. Wish they would stick with the narrator of Riders who was excellent.

Classic Jilly - what's not to love?!
Great narration. Good story with the return of some much loved characters. The time will fly by while listening. Can't wait to listen to the next one.

Read this book so many times. Simply the best!
Always makes me shed a tear. Daisy is such a lovely person.
I can empathise with Poor littePerdita.

Wonderful
I loved this book when I read it as a teenager so I was delighted to see that Audible had finally re-released it. Sherri Baines does a wonderful job. Still my favourite of the Rutshire Chronicles, Sherri really brings it to life. If you love Jilly Coppers books you will love this recording.

Indulgence
Read before but lovely to have the audiobook for driving. My fave Jilly cooper book.
They have to be taken with a large pinch of salt and as a product of their time because they are somewhat racist, sexist, sizeist and homophobic by our modern standards. But still a romping good yarn with gorgeous memorable characters and a great storyline.

I'm such a Jilly Fan
The world of Rutshire is a caricature of our own but I think is said to be based most particularly on the Cotswolds.
I have decided to make it a tradition to read a Jilly novel in the Autumn. Her writing is so good you can just envelop yourself in an epic story.
I am not going to say nothing bad happens because bad things really do happen but if bad things can't happen in a world you have built then good things can't either.
You can't call something a bodice ripper without good reason and make no mistake there are a lot of graphic sex scenes but I was one of those people guilty of thinking that was all a Jilly novel comprised of and it just isn't. That's but just one of her many trademarks. The others being world building. caricters you either love, or love to hate and a wicked sense of humour.
It is worth also remembering that these early books were written 40 odd years ago and are probably more reflective of the social attitudes of those times. However I see Jilly as before her time in satirising such attitudes.
I here by declare I am a convert. I am now living proof it is possible to read Tolstoy and Jilly at the same time and appreciate both for their own merits.
