Polo by Jilly Cooper
Ricky France-Lynch is 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 world of smart women, handsome army officers, romantic school girls, lustful grooms, insecure wives.. they have fire in their bellies (and generally in their groins too) and a massive appetite for life -- Nicholas Coleridge * The Sunday Times *
