Title : Horse Paradise - Jane Smiley - book
Summary :
With her usual verve and humor, Jane Smiley plunges us into the heart of the equestrian world, where unforgettable characters live tumultuous stories... We meet Krista, owner of a small stud farm, who juggles the births of her fillies, her bills and her baby's bottles; Joy, more at ease in the company of horses than in that of men; two star trainers and competitors, the friendly Farley, constantly racked by doubt, and the awful Buddy, dishonest but irresistibly funny, who tries to redeem his sins by negotiating with Jesus. However, the real heroes of this book are the horses: the author allows us to discover their personalities, their desires, their philosophy of life. We follow with amusement or emotion their setbacks and their successes, their loves and their sorrows. A rich and exhilarating novel, but also funny and tender, which will bring the reader as much satisfaction as a winning combination at the PMU.
