Wonderfully Intimate and Personal Memoirs of Horse Lovers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I ordered this book because it contained an essay authored by a very dear blog buddy. I also thought it would make an excellent gift for my horse loving spouse. I am not particularly enamored with horses so my own expectations were measured. Today I received the book and hurriedly opened it to find my friend's contribution. I expected it to be excellent and it was. But the reward of reading that single chapter was even greater than I had hoped. I returned to the front and began to read from the beginning and was surprised to find myself more than half way through when I finally took a break. There are horses in this book just as there are people. But they all become individuals with personality and character and they collectively experience the entire spectrum of emotion. The wonderful writing certainly contributes. But it is the raw emotion that adds the vivid color. There is a genuineness in these stories only possible I think because they are so intensely personal and related from experience. Kudos to Colleen Sell for a wonderful compilation.
