Описание:
This is one of seven books, which comprise the Jill series by Jemma Spark. They're a follow-on of the original Ruby Ferguson Jill books, which were the most popular pony books of their time and translated into many languages. Ostensibly, they are classified as Young Adult, and contain no explicit adult content. However, they fit more neatly into a developing genre with a devoted following called 'Pony Books for Adults'. They are set in the early 1960s and contain little nuggets of interesting historical context of the post-war years. There is also a strong element of horses and ponies, which appeal to the huge population of pony-lovers and horse-lovers. The series includes 'Jill Rides Cross-Country', 'Jill Has Two Horses', 'Jill Goes Pony Trekking', Jill and the Steeplechaser', 'Jill Dreams of a Dressage Horse', 'Jill and the Horsemasters' and 'All Change at Blainstock Stables'. They have consistently achieved 'best-seller' status in their genre on Amazon. A French translation, 'Les Aventures de Jill: Des Ponies aux Chevaux' will be published shortly. This is the second book in the Jill Series by Jemma Spark. Jill Crewe has left Chatton and is now living in a Scottish Highland castle with her mother and new step-father. She has a beautiful young grey horse, Balius, but she yearns for an older, trained mount so she can compete in open events in the coming year. She accepts a job as a secretary to Bryony Peach in Cornwall in order to earn money towards the purchase of a second horse. She drives from Scotland to Cornwall to begin work, taking Balius with her and stopping along the way with various horsey characters such as Ned Sperrit - a horsedealer, Charles a racehorse trainer and his glamorous wife, Venetia, and the Merrivales - a jolly family of five children living on Dartmoor. In Cornwall she finds herself drawn into the smuggling activities of an unlikely bunch of criminals.

This is the fourth book in the Jill Series by Jemma Spark. Jill Crewe is a young woman living in rural England during the early 1960s. Teetering on the edge of adulthood, she moved to the Scottish Highlands to live in a castle when her mother married Richard Micheldever. Moving on from ponies to horses she is now the owner of Balius, a magnificent thoroughbred cross Highland gelding, and a sweet chestnut mare, Copperplate. In this book, she goes back to Chatton to live in her childhood home, Pool Cottage. Her best friend, Ann Derry, is emotionally wrecked from a love affair gone wrong and goes to stay with her. Their life of horsey adventures, and sometimes misadventures continue. Jill acquires a steeplechaser and enters a point-to-point to try race riding. In order to qualify to enter the race, Jill has to foxhunt, and after her first enthusiasm, she is forced to grapple with a moral dilemma when faced with anti-blood sports protests. A host of original characters parade through the pages including the Cholly-Sawcutt sisters, her old enemy Susan Pyke, Dinah Dean, Wendy Mead the instructor at Mrs Darcy's riding school, James and Diana Bush, and her cousin Cecilia.

Описание: Sainsbury's Magazine Book Club Choice
'Tense, dark and so real as to be almost unbearable, this novel is utterly compelling.'Rosamund Lupton, international bestselling author of Sister and Three Hours
'Wayne weaves a book that is at once engrossing and an exploration of what it means to be a woman, a moral person, a parent, and a neighbour.'Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Starling Days and Harmless Like You
'To Dare is a vivid, poignant, and compelling read; Jemma Wayne skilfully weaves her narrative threads tighter and tighter as the story moves towards its nerve-jangling conclusion. I loved it - I couldn't put it down 'Saskia Sarginson
'A five star novel by one of our best writers. I was gripped.'Louis de Berni res, author of the international bestseller Captain Corelli's Mandolin
'Dares, violent jealousies and chasms between having and not having are at the heart of this uncomfortable urban tale. Simone has found herself a new job but is biding her time to tell her angry, addicted husband Terry. Next door, Veronica has just moved into her smart new home, and from the chill of the marital bed, hears brutal body thumps against the party wall. Then Veronica runs into Sarah, her former teenage best friend, and Sarah hesitantly allows a reconnection. A power game kicks off. The collision of their lives, determined by upbringing, powers Jemma Wayne's fierce storytelling.'Sainsbury's Magazine Book Club
Veronica and her wealthy husband George are unpacking boxes, hoping a fresh start in their newly refurbished Victorian terrace will help them heal from a recent trauma.
Next door, Simone returns to her neglected council flat. Miserable and trapped, she struggles to take care of her children under the watch of her controlling husband Terry.
When childhood friend Sarah re-enters Veronica's life, things are thrown even further off balance. As tensions in their own lives rise, the painful memory that binds them threatens to spill into their present.
Three lives collide in this story of family, inequality and revenge.
'To Dare is a superior thriller, unflinching in its examination of class prejudice and in its portrayal of grief. Wayne writes beautifully with scarcely a word wasted. The characters are real and relatable and watching them all go through Wayne's devious wringer is irresistibly entertaining. The final suspenseful chapters had my heart pounding as Wayne's expertly drip-fed plot begins to congeal like spilt blood. I still can't shake the image of the shocking conclusion from my mind.'A.S. Hatch
'Jemma owes me a night's sleep What a transfixing book. The tension spirals out of control and you have no idea how it will end... It's clever and well written and I can see how Jemma has been shortlisted for so many prizes.'Hilary Boyd, author of Thursdays in the Park and The Lie
'To Dare is not only a skilful and intimate dissection of the power struggles that exist between female friends in any era, but also a daring exploration of our class divides, and of the most terrifying issues hidden behind closed doors... To Dare is a rare example of fiction that is equally literary and commercial.'Ophelia Field, author of The Favourite
'Exquisitely written with a fine eye for detail and characterisation. A poignant portrayal of friendship and strangers who have more - and yet less - in common than first meets the eye.'Jane Corry, author of My Husband's Wife and Blood Sisters
'In an exploration of very different lives and backgrounds, To Dare is a novel with exquisitely drawn characters and multi-layered prose. Secrets weigh heavily in this beautifully written novel, and they'll sit with you long after you finish.'Rachael Blok
