Whether describing the splendours of the haute ecole, the miseries of the American horsemeat trade, or the horse-thronged streets of 19th century London, Forrest writes with a fine descriptive vigour. Melanie Reid * The Times *įrom Xenophon to Hitler via Chinese polo and the battle of Waterloo, this extraordinary work demonstrates how much better world history looks with a horse in the foreground. Her book is original, cerebral and from the heart. Forrest, a social anthropologist by training, heart truly pierced, has written a profound historical love story. Susanna Forrest is the outstanding writer at the erudite end of horse madness.
