About this ebook

'I recommend this book unconditionally to everyone. Unputdownable! Have strained my eyes, smiled, cried, enjoyed every minute, and done absolutely no housework since I first picked this up' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

ONE GIRL. ONE HORSE. ONE HUGE SECRET . . .

In a hidden corner of London, Henri Lachapelle is teaching his granddaughter and her horse to defy gravity, just as he had done in France, fifty years previously. But when disaster strikes, fourteen-year-old Sarah is left to fend for herself.

Forced to share a house with her charismatic ex-husband, her professional judgement called into question, lawyer Natasha Macauley's life seems to have gone awry. When her path crosses that of Sarah, she sees a chance to put things right.

But she doesn't know that Sarah is keeping a secret, one that will change all their lives forever . . .

This is the second time I have read this wonderful book that would appeal to non horse lovers as much as an adult or teenager alike. The plot is compelling and heartwarming as the seperate paths of strangers entwine. I love the ending. More novels like this please.

An interesting and enjoyable story. Somewhat slow in the middle but a well executed fairy tale ending.
