About this listen

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...

Really loving listening to the Rutshire books, and Georgia Tennet reading them. Please do the rest in the series!

A great bit of escapism, and yes the story is a bit cheesy, but just great for an easy listen. Georgia Tennant is perfect for narrating the Rutshire Chronicles. I hope she can re-do all of them!

Excellent narration from Georgia Tennant

As entertaining as when I first read it 30 odd years ago! Love Jilly Cooper’s humour and eye.

Romping good fun!

As usual for Jilly Cooper, the characterisations in this book are marvellous, the story is fast paced and held my interest. However - I found the main character of this novel completely insufferable from start to finish. If you have read or listened to Jilly Cooper's Rivals, then imagine a whole book centered around Maude. Unfortunately, the vapid, self-centered Maudesque character in this book, Perdita, does not grow up, grow out of it, or really develop in any way. This made the book hard to listen to at times, but the performance of the narrator is excellent.
