Nicholas Evans
(Review by Patricia De La Llera)
“The horse whisperer”, written by Nicholas Evans, is a novel for adolescents and adults that tells the story of a teenager called Grace Mac Klean and her horse Pilgrim. Both have a terrible accident on an icy road. This incident causes on Grace serious damages so she has to suffer a partial amputation on her right leg. Meanwhile, Pilgrim is badly hurt and its behaviour changes in an uncontrollable way so that the solution is to put Pilgrim down. Grace’s mother refuses to carry out this decision. She knows that there is a man who understands horses’ feelings. Nobody knows his secrets but he is called “the horse whisperer”. Grace and her mother go to see him. This is a wonderful story that holds the reader attention till the end where there is an unexpected final. “The horse whisperer” is plenty of details that help the reader to make very clear picture of the places where the story happens.
I recommend this book which is so carefully written.
