Coup de coeur
Coup de coeur (Literature), by Flora
This exuberant romp of a book was by my side during an intense 48 hours spent on the floor of a remote hospital in the Peruvian mountains. I could not have had a better companion. Polo displays all the hallmarks of Jilly Cooper's writing: indefatigable humour, sharp observations about people, a deep adoration of animals and plots that thunder along faster than a fresh polo pony.

Want to know what happens next? Don't miss the third racy instalment of the Rutshire Chronicles series, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Rivals – now a major TV series streaming on Disney+

'Compulsively readable and funny...the irrepressible Jilly remains irresistible' The Times
'Polo is the best thing she's ever done' Daily Mail
'A work of towering genius' Evening Standard

Escape to the 80s – the decade of decadence…

Ricky France-Lynch was moody, macho, and magnificent. He 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 fourteen-year-old Perdita MacLeod. Perdita couldn't wait to leave her dreary school and become a polo player. The polo set were ritzy, wild, and gloriously promiscuous. Perdita thought she'd get along with them very well.

But before she had time to grow up, Ricky's life exploded into tragedy, and Perdita turned into a brat who loved only her horses - and Ricky France-Lynch.

Ricky's obsession to win back his wife, and Perdita's to win both Ricky and a place as a top class polo player, take the reader on a wildly exciting journey - to the estancias of Argentina, to Palm Beach and Deauville, and on to the royal polo fields of England and the glamorous pitches of California where the most heroic battle of all is destined to be fought - a match that is about far more than just the winning of a huge silver cup...
