Description
Mount! by Jilly Cooper returns to the world of horse racing, wealth, rivalry and romance, with Rupert Campbell-Black at the centre of the action. Rupert is determined to see his beloved grey stallion, Love Rat, crowned champion and to defeat the horse belonging to his bitter rival, Cosmo Rannaldini. His pursuit takes him away from Penscombe and Taggie as he follows the richest races around the world, from Dubai and Los Angeles to Melbourne.
Back at Penscombe, Rupert’s assistant Gav tries to keep the racing operation running while dealing with his own troubled life. The arrival of Gala, a beautiful Zimbabwean widow who becomes carer to Rupert’s father, complicates matters further, particularly when Rupert returns and finds himself attracted to her. Meanwhile, a handsome South African takes over the caring duties, and a series of increasingly sinister acts of sabotage begins to threaten Penscombe. With horses, romance, rivalry and scandal all tangled together, Mount! is another exuberant Rutshire novel from Jilly Cooper.
