Jilly Cooper: Polo, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From a bestselling author, enter an elite world of 1980s Polo, full of glamour, power, and money.

Ricky France-Lynch has a large crumbling estate, a nine-goal polo handicap, and a beautiful wife who's fair game for anyone with a check book. He also has the adoration of fourteen-year-old Perdita MacLeod.

Perdita can't wait to leave her dreary school and become a polo player where the polo sets are gloriously promiscuous. But before she has time to grow up, Ricky's life explodes into tragedy, and Perdita turns into a brat who loves 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 wild journey---from Argentina, to Palm Beach and Deauville, England, and 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.
