Review:
From the Back Cover:
"All the traditional lingo and lore tucked into Barbara Dimmick's first novel is evidence of her inspired pursuit of her favorite animal, the horse. Luckily, she's equally good at depicting human characters." --Sally Eckhoff, The New York Times Book Review
"It's been a long time since I've read a well-written novel about horses that was salted with equine details right on target.... Dimmick really knows her stuff.... Instantly put In the Presence of Horses heads above Nicholas Evans' The Horse Whisperer." --The Orlando Sentinel
"Dimmick will keep readers intrigued as she injects suspenseful incidents into the narrative. Natalie's coming to terms with her life, and her jolting ride toward redemption turn out to be absorbing." --Publishers Weekly
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.
