Miss Chance : He Doesn't Understand Women. Will Understanding Horses Help?

by Simon Barnes

"...delicate and down-to-earth, funny and poignant..." BOOKLIST When teacher Mark Brown's celebrated wife leaves him, his best friend Callum prescribes a swift return to adolescence. Mark does indeed turn back the clock, but not towards motorbikes - he returns to his first passion, horse riding. All the old excitement returns, although trying to establish a relationship with a wilful and unpredictable character could also be said to be quite familiar to his marriage! Getting back into the swing of riding, Mark is plunged back into contact with his extraordinary family - and over everything there is the shadow of Morgan, the alluring wife he has never really known.
