About this listen

Free choice? There's no such thing, according to Lee Morris. Choice is pre-ordained by your personality. Stratton Park racecourse faces ruin in the hands of a squabbling family. Lee is slowly sucked into the turmoil, unwillingly on the surface but half-understanding the deep compulsions that influence his decisions. One road leads to safety, another to death. How do you know which is which?

Lee's choices and their consequences bring deadly results, but the road out of the quicksand is there, if he can find it. Horses and racing are familiar ingredients, but this time there are also children, houses, roots and decisions. Danger? Naturally. Stratton Park racecourse is worth multi-millions, and all of the Stratton family are playing to win.

Another Dick Francis favourite of mine. In contrast to the warring Stratton family, Lee Morris' dysfunctional marriage is a picnic. He faces the turmoil of the Strattons and their racecourse with dispassionate equanimity and wisdom, with numerous small sons in tow, bringing sanity and reason to the chaos.

His self-built house with the hypocaust is an absolute delight, as is his life on the road with his boys in the caravan.

As old family secrets are revealed, tragedy ensues, and young lives are moulded under the guidance of a father the envy of any young boy.

A great read.

Two families in contrast!

Although written decades ago the themes of this book are very human and modern. Lovely twist and turns and a humorous approach made this story very enjoyable.

Has stood the test of time.
