The Horse Whisperer
Nicholas Evans, 1995
A Montana horseman with a gift for gentling what others have given up on, and a New York family driving west to find him.
Nicholas Evans
Evans was a British journalist and television producer, not a horseman; The Horse Whisperer was his first novel and has sold more than fifteen million copies.
Feels like tenderness, longing and hope.
The particular thrill of being the first one awake after snowfall.
There was snow. The first fall of winter. And from the laterals of the fence up by the pond she could tell there must be almost a foot of it. With no deflecting wind, it was perfect and driftless, heaped in comical proportion on the branches of the six small cherry trees her father had planted last year. A single star shone in a wedge of deep blue above the woods. The girl looked down and saw a lace of frost had formed on the lower part of the window and she placed a finger on it, melting a small hole. She shivered, not from the cold, but from the thrill that this transformed world was for the moment entirely hers. And she turned and hurried to get dressed. Books by Nicholas Evans
