Product Description

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 chequebook.  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... --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.


Ingram

Beautiful and bitchy Perdita Macleod takes on the male bastion of polo, angering some and enticing others as she strives to become the first female star of the sport. 75,000 first printing.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A "10 goal" story!, Mars 29 2001
This review is from: Polo (Paperback)
Enjoyable and thoroughly entertaining! Cooper's characters are colorful and fresh, and stay that way until the very end. I also applaud her ability to weave her story from a sport that very few know much about. For those that are new to the game, polo (the sport) is a true drama; not only of egoes and money, but more importantly of horse lovers(wealthy or not). It is a drama that Cooper manages to credibly capture; not only from the sidelines, but from those involved on the field as well(players, grooms and patrons). Jilly you most certainly did your homework! As warm weather comes, Polo is one of those books you may find yourself reading each summer again and again. Humor, romance, tradgedy, and action. There is something in it for everyone.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Polled Over!, Mars 12 2001
This review is from: Polo (Paperback)
Polo comes after Riders and Rivals. It maintains the same backdrop and high flying jet setting lifestyle. Cooper maintains the humour and raunchy goings on as her last novels. However, the main character of Polo is Perdita, with whom I gradually began to loathe.

However, Polo is good escapism, with some really good twists and turns in the plot. I have always felt that some of Cooper's dialogue was contrived, and this marred my enjoyment of one of the best scenes towards the end of the book.

It's an enjoyable read

5.0étoiles sur 5 Laugh all the way through, Déc 17 2000
This review is from: Polo (Paperback)
The third in the series of Jilly Cooper's wonderfully hilarious Campbell-Black books - although this is the one in which things really depart quite markedly from Rupert Campbell-Black's life and he becomes a bit player in everyone elses story.

Like all other books in the series the plot is set around one theme - in this case Polo. The main characters are Ricky France-Lynch, fabulous but moody English Polo-Playing star, and Perdita Macleod- the stroppy young English school-girl who longs for Ricky almost as much as she longs to play polo. Their stories and those of dozens of other hugely likeable and wildly flawed characters interweave in wonderfully satisfying and hilarious story. No one in is perfect in Jilly Cooper world - which makes for great reading.

You don't really have to have read the first two books in the series to know what is going on here. Most of the characters are new and this is a whole new plot so you really won't have missed out on much. The few characters that to turn up again are explained briefly anyway. However, if you haven't already read Riders or Rivals, the first two books in this series, then get thee to a library.

2.0étoiles sur 5 One shouldn't expect much from a "guilty pleasure" novel.
Even in the context of trash wallow, beach books, guilty pleasures, or glitz and glamor novels, _Polo_ stands out as much worse than the average of its type. Read more
