In a stable under railway arches, lives Boo, a Selle Francais he bought as a colt for Sarah; together they train him and he gives them purpose.

la storia anche di Mac, ex marito di Natasha, artista che vive alla giornata, che capirà però di aver fatto bene a dare un nuovo scossone alla sua vita (e che si ritroverà a dover vivere per due mesi interi insieme all’ex moglie! Their relationship was a little too much rollercoaster and I think she has refined her writing since. The first is her beloved grandfather, Henri whom she lives with and at one time was a professional rider for the prestigious Le Cadre Noir, a French dressage academy but he gave it all up to come to England to marry the love of his life. This is a definite recommendation to those who love Moyes books and especially to those who have a love of horses.Unsure and untrusting Sarah tries to weave her way through life’s challenges by keeping things close to the vest. It’s different every time because he might be in a mood or I might be tired, or the ground might be softer. They are trying to sell the house that they jointly own to settle the finances and as a result of this, Mac, a photographer, moves back in with Natasha, insisting that he needs somewhere to stay while he has work in London and as he owns half of the house, it should be okay to stay there. Finale non troppo verosimile (con la scampagnata in Francia…) ma molto, molto dolce, molto alla Moyes per intenderci e io ho adorato questa cosa… perché è questa la Moyes che voglio!

Meanwhile Natasha a children’s lawyer, along with her husband Mac of whom she recently separated from crosses paths with Sarah after her grand father had fallen ill and ends up taking her under her wing. Jag tycker att den här funkar även om du inte är hästintresserad, för att den innehåller så mycket fler teman och aspekter. A quintessential Jojo Moyes novel about a lost girl and her horse, the enduring strength of friendship, and how even the smallest choices can change everything. I'm not really a "horsey" kind of girl although I love animals but rest assured, you don't have to know a whole lot about horses to appreciate this lovely, uplifting novel. The Horse Dancer tells the story of Sarah, a fourteen year old girl with a passion for horse riding which stems from her grandfather, Henri Lachapelle, a former pupil at Le Cadre Noir, a prestigious academy for horsemanship in Saumur, France.Definitely read if you like horses, or even just enjoyed the dressage this summer (although the airs above the ground are rarely performed outside displays by La Cadre Noir and The Spanish Riding School of Vienna). If you don’t like horses, you may find the relationship between Sarah and Boo difficult to fathom but she completely loves that horse and is her anchor when everything else is falling apart. She won a bursary financed by The Independent newspaper to study journalism at City University and subsequently worked for The Independent for 10 years. I had never heard of it; but, I was aware of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna and the famous Lippizaner horses.
