Elizabeth passionately fills her life with horses, trying to shut out her fears for her desperately ill mother, away in hospital. Then everything else begins to go wrong too, including her boyfriend's revelation that he wants to become a priest. Based on the author's own experiences growing up near New Plymouth during the 1940s. Suggested secondary.
I've read so much kids books about horses, but i didn't quite enjoyed this one ... It's nice to introduce history in the novel, but i don't find the story well balanced ... too bad !
