Mount!

Product Information

She writes on a manual typewriter, christened Monica. “I feel very guilty about not working. I work at weekends. I do like working, and now Leo’s gone it’s a good substitute for loneliness.” Spoiler alert!*** One of the prevailing themes of the books is Rupert's love for Taggie, and his faithfulness to her. In this book he cheats on her, and it seems so random. There is no believable reason, the person he sleeps with isn't likeable, there is no built up basis that makes the events understandable. It's like Jilly just threw it in there for excitement. ***Spoiler Alert over***

She had worked in several secretarial jobs before staring her long career in journalism in London. In the year 1957, she became a junior reporter for the Middlesex Independent. She was later married to her childhood sweetheart, Leo Cooper.I’ve always adored horses and, in writing Mount!, I’ve been privileged to meet some of the finest in the world. The great Frankel, for example, is turning out to be as wonderful a sire as he was racehorse, and lives with a lovely tabby cat friend called George. I have also shaken hooves with gentle Gallileo in Ireland, who has been leading sire for the past seven years. Equally excitingly, I went to the World Cup in Dubai, which takes place in the desert under an indigo sky, where the top horses race for multi-million prizes. After some amazing fireworks, all the stars come down to cheer on the equine stars. It is so romantic. The series is being written by Dominic Treadwell-Collins, who was an executive producer on A Very English Scandal and EastEnders, and Olivier award winner Laura Wade, and who wrote the screenplay for the film The Riot Club.

Production began on 17 September 2007, in London. [13] Cooper was invited to make a cameo appearance as a guest at a party. [14] Its broadcast was delayed according to a Broadcast Now article in early 2009 as a consequence of the recession – ITV put many of their dramas 'on ice'; postponing single dramas until later that year. [15] The Guardian reported early in 2009 Octavia had no transmission slots for the forthcoming year and said, for accountancy purposes, its cost would not be counted until the show was broadcast. [16] Octavia had its first UK screening in 2009 with Tamsin Egerton taking the title role. As stated earlier, this series was the most successful work of Jilly Cooper. It consists of the following nine books:Too many unlikable characters who never really redeemed themselves. Hated Gala. The Jan subplot was annoying. And Taggie where is your spine?

Her break came with a chance meeting at a dinner party. The editor of The Sunday Times Magazine, Godfrey Smith, asked her to write a feature about her experiences. [3] This led to a column in which Cooper wrote about marriage, sex and housework. That column ran from 1969 to 1982, when she moved to The Mail on Sunday, where she worked for another five years. One thing that I enjoyed was the relationship between Eddie, Rupert's father who has dementia, and Love Rat, Rupert's favorite stud. I've been reading Jilly Cooper's novels for pretty much my whole adult life and some of the main characters are almost as familiar as family. Far any fans of Riders and Polo I would certainly recommend this novel as a great read. Although I am not very clued up when it comes to horse racing it is clear that Jilly has done her homework and her attention to detail is fantastic.
