These aspects are contrasted with details of the characters' domestic lives, which are often far from glamorous. The heroine, Abigail Rosen aka Appassionata, was not only the most violinist and flamboyant in classical music but was also the sexiest. It features characters from the Rutshire Chronicles in the world of National Hunt steeplechase racing, and tells the transformation of a mutilated horse (Mrs Wilkinson) into a successful racehorse. A read through the acknowledgements shows an impressive range of A-listers from the racing world and the author clearly felt the need to toss as much information as possible about UK horse-racing into the story, which led to random chunks of info-dump that should never have escaped an editor's red pen.

The 'chemistry' between him and Gala is non-existent, the sex is gross (I'll be attempting to wash "buttercunt" out of my mind for a good while) and no one really suffers as a result of the gross breech of trust except poor ol' Taggie…who suffers and suffers and suffers and then gets cancer FFS. All I could claim was a passionate interest in the subject and, being unashamedly middle class, I was perhaps more or less equidistant from bottom and top,” Cooper wrote in a later introduction, admitting that it caused a “fearful rumpus” at the time.I always said it’s like building a cathedral – sometimes a bit falls down, but it’s lovely, lovely,” she says today. One of Jilly Cooper’s best-loved novels, Rivals, is set to be adapted for a Disney+ TV series, the streaming service has announced. Meanwhile trouble lies ahead for Rupert and Taggie when a ravishing Zimbabwean widow and a handsome South African man start working at Penscombe Court. Yet at the end, everything is tied up in a nice little bow and we marvel at what a fantastic man Rupert is.

That's the second biggest thing I've had in my hand today" he told her as he washed down Love Rat's cock. The human characters are very realistic with all their flaws and strengths, and the animals in the story are almost human in their personalities. 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.I also think that Jilly's extreme cleverness and powers of observation have outed themselves surreptitiously in the plot, if not the gush. She tended to hear one side’s view of situations such as the state of horse-racing or farm expropriations in Zimbabwe, and then cack-handingly parroted those views in this book. The heroine Perdita MacLeod is not very likeable as she interferes with the lives of almost all characters. But in Rupert's obsession with winning he is putting more important things at risk - including his relationship with his loving wife Taggie.
