Horses, The

Product Overview

Stranded while on holiday, they are facing personal as well as global tragedy, when the arrival of a mysterious herd of horses heralds the chance for a future they could never have imagined.

This powerful first person narrative uses magical realism to stunning effect; the disruption of the boundaries of the physical and the psychological and a constant sense of strangeness add to a powerful story that is as compelling as it is important. A highly accomplished debut novel.
