Oh my god, Gordon Merrick... I read "The Lord Won't Mind" at 13 or some equally inappropriate age & loved it. It's like "Brideshead Revisited" + Danielle Steel + an impressive number of synonyms for penis. I have the trilogy it begat in a box set on my bookshelf & no one is allowed to borrow it.

On 'The Valley Of Horses': Once More Into The Breach
@boyofdestiny I have to ask how long it's been since you read it, because I revisted it recently, and my memory of it was apparently quite kind. (It probably also helps that I was 23 when I read it...)
The characterizations are pretty thin in many cases, a lot of the dialogue is quite stilted, and despite the literary and historical allusions, yeah, it is pretty trashy.
