Resumen del Editor

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Giver of Stars, a novel about a lost girl and her horse, the enduring strength of friendship, and how even the smallest choices can change everything.

When Sarah's grandfather gives her a beautiful horse named Boo - hoping that one day she'll follow in his footsteps to join an elite French riding school, away from their gritty London neighborhood - she quietly trains in the city's parks and alleys. But then her grandfather falls ill, and Sarah must juggle horsemanship with school and hospital visits.

Natasha, a young lawyer, is reeling after her failed marriage: Her professional judgment is being questioned, her new boyfriend is a letdown, and she's forced to share her house with her charismatic ex-husband. Yet when the willful 14-year-old Sarah lands in her path, Natasha decides to take the girl under her wing.

But Sarah is keeping a secret - a secret that will change the lives of everyone involved forever.

Trust me, this is the kind of book you'll want to share with the ones you love." (Bustle)

“Fans of Moyes (Paris for One and Other Stories, 2016, etc.) know what to expect from her books - big emotions, quirky characters, and a few tears - and this one delivers on all counts.” (Kirkus Reviews)

"With a touch of adventure, Moyes offers a lovely comment on the importance of discipline, love, and persistence in our relationships." (Booklist)

Sometimes heavy in detail but a great read

I loved this book. At times it seems the book contains details that need not be included, but it is worth plowing through. The end was predictable but it was still so enjoyable. I loved the book's exploration of family, relationships, and perseverance. I also appreciated how each character grows and changes through their trials. Highly recommend.

Not the best by JoJo Moyes, but still ok

Characters were good, narration good but storyline just dragged out to long. If ur a fan of the author it's worth a listen, if this is ur first JoJo book - try the others they are SO much better.

Loved it

I was sad when this book was finished. I loved every minute of it. The storyline was refreshing and engaging. The performance was very entertaining as well.

Incredible

I absolutely loved this whole production. The story was quite lovely…. Exciting, engaging, thoughtful….. beautifully written.

Great story!

It was hard to get into this book but once I did and discovered the connection between the stories, I loved it!

a must-read

the story is compelling and well-researched I was emotionally involved with this book the whole way through. I highly recommend The Horse Dancer

my review

This read was both enjoyable and consuming. The characters were revealed in complex and lovely/troubling layers. I appreciate when writers respect their readers and do not use foul or fearsome imagery to taunt or manipulate. This is a good clean read of hard fought kinsmanship across generations. Jojo Moyes is my favorite fiction author.

Great Story

Wonderful story thoroughly enjoyed. Narrator made actors come alive. One disappointment , no French translation.

A total delight!

Like all of Jojo Moyes books, this is life-affirming and inspiring. She presents complex compelling characters caught up in extraordinary circumstances who find resolutions through personal struggle.

Wonderful!

Loved it.. took me back to my childhood. And although somewhat unrealistic; it allowed me to escape from adulting.. which is exactly what I love about horse novels
