Write-Up Appertaining To Books The Horse Dancer

Oh Jojo Moyes, you are such a great storyteller! This lovely book is about Sarah (a displaced child) and how her relationship with her horse Boo saves her life. The relationship also saves the lives of the estranged couple who foster her. I learned so much about urban horses. There is wisdom quoted at the beginning of each chapter from "Xenophon, On Horsemanship", a real source! Set in modern day London, the speed and stress of the modern world is set in juxtaposition to the care taking of

Not being a horse person, I was hesitant to start this book. In the end, Boo is a horse I will long remember along with his owner, Sarah, and the people who cared for her.

There are definitely some things that this author does well. I love the depth of emotion that she can pour into her characters. That is the main reason this gets 3 stars, otherwise it would have been 2 stars. This wasn't my favorite book by this author. This one started slow for me. I wondered how much of that info in the beginning could have been doled out throughout the story (when needed), or even deleted. I also had too many questions. Something would happen in the story and then I would

4.5 stars

This was a bit slow to get started; there are two stories at first, running alongside each other. One is of an almost-divorced couple who have to sort out their house and hope to do so amicably. Mac is a cheerful photographer, Natasha is quite an uptight lawyer. The other storyline features 14-year-old Sarah and her elderly grandfather who used to be a professional rider in France. Sarah adores her horse and works hard to learn the moves in 'Airs above the ground' - then disaster strikes.

3.5 stars. "The Horse Dancer" is the story of Tash and Mac and their marriage that is falling apart. It's the story of Sarah, a young teenager, whose grandfather gets sick and threatens to rip apart the only thing that has given her life stability: her love of horseback writing. Told with Moyes' signature heart and memorable characters, this book will drag your heart through the mud and leave you with hope and happiness.I'm not a horse fan but I am an animal lover. I loved the bond that Sarah

I've enjoyed other Jojo Moyes novels, but I found this one to be inane. So much of its conflict was unrealistic. Would an ex-husband and wife share their house together and accept a foster child? Would people give a woman a hard time for prioritizing her runaway foster child? Would a 14-year-old girl really prepare to prostitute herself for back rent without even trying to ask for help? Why did Cowboy John smoke dope in a car? How could a rider and horse run along a freeway and jump over a car?
