The stories tell the stories of mostly British upper- class families, as well as show-jumping and polo crowds, in numerous different sexually charged scenarios, often riddled with adultery, illegitimate children, scandal and sometimes death. They are linked by several recurring characters, mainly by Rupert Campbell-Black, and are set in the fictional English county of Ratshire, so as not to be confused with the real English county of Rutland. See the rut in Wiktionary, a free dictionary. Some of these characters, namely Campbell-Black and the numerous characters associated with it, also occur in Cooper Pandora's novel, although this is not part of the series . citation is necessary. Campbell-Black, Lloyd-Fox, France-Lynch, and other families from the Rutshire Chronicles also appear in Wicked! Tales are set in chronological order; however, they are read as standalone novels.

Triumph ... a boisterous tale of sex and Chopin among Rutshire folk'Tatler'Appassionata - the last and greatest novel by the divine Jilly Cooper's Sunday Times Jilly Cooper is a journalist, author and media superstar. The author of many number one best-selling novels, she lives in Gloucestershire with her rescue racing greyhound, Bluebell. She was awarded honorary doctorates from the universities of Gloucestershire and England to Raskin, and in 2019 won the first Comedy Women in Lifetime Achievement Award. She was appointed CBE in 2018 for services to literature and charity. Back in my late teens and early twenties in the 80s and 90s, my favorite author was Jilly Cooper. Her frollicking sex n' scandal tales of toffs and top totty romp through the British countryside kept me entertained (and enlightened!) for hours, so when they all popped up at 99p on Kindle's Daily Deals last week, I couldn't resist snapping 'em up!' Instead of for the most famous ones first (Riders, Rivals and Polo), I started with Appassionata, the fifth in Rupert Campbell-Black Ser Back in my late teens and early twenties in the 80s and 90s, my favorite author was Jilly Cooper. Her frollicking sex n' scandal tales of toffs and top totty romp through the British countryside kept me entertained (and enlightened!) for hours, so when they all popped up at 99p on Kindle's Daily Deals last week, I couldn't resist snapping 'em up!' Instead of going for the most famous ones in the first place (Riders, Rivals and Polo), I started with Appassionata, the fifth in the Rupert Campbell-Black series; Unlike my many reads of the first three, I've only read this once or twice before and could only remember the Oirish Viking player and his glorious lion mana hair that shagged his way through all the girls in the orchestra before finally taming Appassionata himself. Will this test of time? Honestly, if it was new I think I'd be tired of all this pretty quickly, but through rupert's serial studs and all the adorable adorable Sweet gay Marcus, and the swaggering sex on the feet of the Vikings, I loved it for off, tongue in cheek, downright silly, bonkbusting a little brain candy this. 4 stars, both delighted, Viking-loving, twenty-something; 4 stars as nostalgic, Viking-loving, forty-something. ... more JILLY COOPER calls Appassionata her sex and Chopin romance; especially a terrible pun, given that there is very little piano poet and hardly a cacophony of the cash register in his, 600-plus pages. It is, however, set in the world of classical music and therefore required careful research by Ms Cooper - research that, as she claims in her confessions, included touring Spain in the company of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, touring the south of England with the Bournemouth Symphony and asking professional musicians of various shades questions, how could you bonk a little woman on glockenspiel? Going through Appassionata, I have my own question. Why do people read Jilly Cooper? What's more, why - without orders to do this armed thug - people buy, and presumably read, every novel Jilly Cooper writes? Maybe it's her characters. Appassionata is a way of being a concert grosso, with the Rutminster (where else?) Symphony Orchestra - a terrifying ensemble, among whose members can be found a trumpeter named Randy Hamilton, a cellist named Nelly and a pair of basses (a good couple, naturally) called Dirty Harry and El Squeako - providing accompaniment for a quartet of soloists, namely Marcus the gay pianist, namely Marcus the gay pianist who is forced to take over the conduction of jealous madness, and last but surely not least, the Vikings (push, push) the player's horns.
