Description

Jilly could have written about the ups and downs of a long marriage but she really didn't need there to be butterc**t. There's always been the casual classism and sexism (RCB is her hero, after all), but the rampant homophobia seems especially stepped up this time around (predatory "faggot" bingo, anyone?

Both men and women are accused of being fat when barely over 10 stone and while I understand this is to with the weight needed for jockeys I think there could have been a better way to describe it than fat. The blurb describes Mount as Cooper’s “raciest novel” but, drawing on my imaginary romantic writing expertise, I would suggest not opening with a prolonged horse mating scene, even if you think it would be enlivened by the presence of a former porn star. Characters of foreign descent as thrown in willy nilly as if JC only put them there for political correctness. Still, enough of the novel was diverting to justify reading to the end and seeing where Rupert Campbell-Black finished off.I was leaning more towards my love of the wonderful characters who I had fell in love with since my grandma first lent me The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous when I was 16.

Even if he suffers no consequences, there are consequences for those whom work with him, socialise with him, and are rivaled by him. Mount is the tenth in the series of books involving the ravishing Rupert Campbell-Black in some capacity.I do not have a problem that he gets everything he wishes for in the end: success, the love of his wife, and a bit of fun with another woman who conveniently moves on. That sounds like actual rape to me - do you think because Tabitha escapes before ejaculation occurs (because Gertrude bites Rannaldini), Jilly has decided it was only attempted rape?

In Jilly Cooper’s latest, raciest novel, Rupert Campbell-Black takes centre stage in the cut-throat world of flat racing.

And Rupert's age - I think he's really about 65-67 as he was 18ish when Perdita was conceived and that was late 60s? 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. Rupert still struts around like he is cock of the walk, but heir apparent is his downright filthy grandson, Young Eddie, and my sights are firmly set of the "well rode and will read" shy trainer, Gavin Tatton!
