Review: A listener who phoned in to a Radio book program a while back explained how he came to read this book. He was a middle age man, and said that a woman once suggested he read this book to learn why a woman falls in love. So he read it, and discovered what a good book it is. I must concur. Mind you, it is not a conventionally dramatic novel--it's a gentle quiet read. But those who can gear down to its quiet tone and pace will find that it is written with great insight. The author (a19th century woman) knew horses intimately, how they think and feel, how they act and react, how they view us humans. This edition is valuable for another reason--the introduction is written by the great California horse trainer Monty Roberts. It turns out his mother read the book to him when he was a child, and this was a great inspiration for him.
