I won this book when I went to see the movie adaptation, which was great. So I read the book after I watched the movie. It was great, albeit a bit sadder than the movie and with a different ending, if I remember correctly. That was back in 1999 or 2000.i would never have expected to like this novel, but i LOVE it. I liked the movie a lot, but it isn't one i'd watch again, especially. The book is really well written, very intelligent and full of real emotion. It's very moving without making you feel depressed. Evans obviously did a LOT of research before writing this book, the kind of research you do with real people, not with library books or online searches, but he mixes all this information in with the storyline so skillfully that you feel
I remember liking the stuff with the daughter and the horse and their recovery after the accident, but I remember zero about anything else.
I am always cautious when picking up a book in which animals figure prominently in the story. I am a HUGE animal lover and I have found that the treatment of animals in stories can be very disturbing and heart breaking to me. Nevertheless, the premise of this story sounded fascinating and I wasn't disappointed.On a cold December day, Grace Graves goes riding on her horse Pilgrim with a friend. There is a terrible accident... Grace's friend and her horse are killed... and Grace and Pilgrim are
If Nicholas Sparks could write well, or if "The Bridges of Madison County" had had a horse in it, the result might be something like this book. I liked reading this book despite the fact that it reads like a movie script rather than a true multi-layered story, I mean it read like a pretty good movie script most of the time. But, I am not a fan of adultery, nor of explicit sex in a book. Nor am I fan of big, cheesy, ridiculous ending scenes that are supposed to tie everything up nicely. I can see
I almost liked this book. Almost.I did enjoy the 'meeting-of-two-worlds' aspect of the story. It was heartwarming to read about two East Coasters trying to fit in at a Montana ranch. Annie and Grace do eventually become near-family to the Booker clan who own and operate the ranch. It was interesting to see outsiders gradually becoming welcome. It felt real.I also enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of the Montana land, sky and wildlife. It makes you wish the book had been illustrated. One
I read this not long after it came out and had to read the book everyone was talking about! While I very much enjoyed the story, it wasn't one I knew I would "have to reread" at a future point in time. If you missed it, then you may want to consider this story. The writing was well done, there is a drama which unfolds with some romance. If you love horses, this is for you.
