Mount! by Jilly Cooper

Best left to nostalgia of teenage years.
My hopes weren't high but for nostalgia (and having heard JC on Desert Island Discs & loved her) I got this for a long haul flight.
It's tedious at best, embarrassingly out of touch with nods of sexism, racism & homophobia throughout. The sex is mostly equine (each to their own but not my bag), the gags are clunky & shoe-horned into unworkable conversations, the plot sketchy & the weight of racing detail dull.
Filled a 10 hour flight but left me wishing I'd left Rupert Campbell-Black back in the 90s
