Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘Dimmick will keep readers intrigued... Natalie’s coming to terms with her life, and her jolting ride toward redemption turn out to be absorbing’
Publishers Weekly
‘Far more evocative and beautifully written than [The Horse Whisperer], and stays with the reader long after the final page is turned... a completely engrossing debut novel’
Aberdeen Press & Journal
A novel of real quality about a woman who is on the run, but forced to come to terms with her tragic past, in the tradition of Anne Tyler and Jane Smiley.
Natalie Baxter is a gifted horsewoman in her thirties. For years she has been on the move, training horses and running from disappointments involving her family and friends – sustained only by the presence of horses. It is when she takes a job caring for a half dozen horses on emotionally damaged people, as well as a compelling portrayal of commitment and betrayal.
Emotionally impactful, beautifully written, ' In the Presence of Horses ' is an entrancing story of the almost mystical healing power of horses on emotionally damaged people, as well as a compelling portrayal of commitment and betrayal.
Barbara Dimmick is a teacher of creative writing and herself an experienced horsewomen. This is her first novel.
