6/10/2023 0 Comments Riders by Jilly Cooper![]() ![]() ![]() I thought the beginning was a bit slow going - it took me about 75 pages to really get into it. Fun and dirty and silly and full of memorable characters. My Anglophelia's been starving, however, and I had to feed it: Goodreads was right - this is the perfect summer read. I purchased the book, bravely but in shame, unable to meet the eyes of the sales clerk behind the register. What's not to like? Then I went to my local Barnes & Noble, found the only copy in stock and was instantly dismayed by the book's heft (more than 900 pages!) and its ridiculous cover art depicting a huge close up of tight, white riding pants stretched taut over a voluptuous woman's ass, cupped by a man's hand. Lots of cavorting around the English countryside. ![]() I picked up this book on the recommendation of last month's Goodreads newsletter, which said Riders was a solid summer read. Well, well, well, what a lovely surprise. ![]()
