Jilly Cooper's sparkling new novel returns to horses and their riders in a fabulously sexy, entertaining romp through the world of racing.
Etta has to leave the beautiful house she has shared with her
husband to live in a hideous bungalow in the village of Willowwood,
where straitened circumstances cause her to be at the beck and call of
her grown-up children and their horrendous brats. Without a husband,
friends or the home she loved, Etta’s life seems bleak – until one
night she comes across a terrified, horribly injured horse abandoned in
the wood. Etta takes the horse home and tends her wounds, and as the
horse recovers she proves herself to be a massively talented
steeplechaser.
By now named Mrs Wilkinson by Etta and the other adoring villagers,
most of whom have rallied round to help the stricken animal, a
syndicate is formed to send her to the run-down training stables of
Marius Rowe, a once-successful trainer who has fallen on hard times.
Before long Mrs Wilkinson becomes the darling of the racing world.
Ridden fearlessly by the lovely Amber Lloyd Foxe, she starts to earn
the members of the syndicate both money and fame. But darker forces are
at work, especially in the shape of rival trainer Ralph Harvey-Holden
whom many suspect of causing the horse’s terrible injuries in the first
place.
A near-disaster causes Mrs Wilkinson to move to the stables of Rupert
Campbell-Black, one of racing’s most successful owner/trainers.
Meanwhile Etta has attracted the attention of several men in the
village, including Valent Edwards, wildly attractive ex-premier league
footballer whose grand house marches with Etta’s bungalow, and Seth
Bainton, gorgeous actor of fame and notoriety.
Tragedies, victories and dastardly plots uncovered come together in an
enthralling climax at Aintree, where in the heady atmosphere of the
Grand National Mrs Wilkinson must finally prove her worth
