About this listen

 In a snow-covered morning in upstate New York, a girl out riding her horse is hit by a 40-ton truck. Though horribly injured, both 13-year-old Grace and her horse Pilgrim survive. Annie, Grace's mother, refuses to have Pilgrim destroyed and hears about a man in Montana, a 'whisperer' who is said to have the gift of healing troubled horses. They set off across the continent to find him and there, under the massive Montana sky, all their lives are changed forever.©1995 Nicholas Evans (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

If you could sum up The Horse Whisperer in three words, what would they be?

Horse gets better.

What did you like best about this story?

Combination of human/animal narrative and atmospheric Wild West setting.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I loved the description of the night out under the stars on the cattle drive.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I have not quite finished listening to it yet, but the scene in which Grace has her first ride on horseback was touching, however, I think there may be a weepy scene ahead!

Any additional comments?

Beautifully read, and I now have a small crush on Tom Booker as a result of the lovely characterisation by the narrator, William Dufris.

Taut atmospheric tale

The author's descriptions are so vivid, so absolutely beautiful, from the breath taking views of Montana to the characters, their feelings and situations!
His portrayal of the romantic scenes left me feeling I'd witnessed it all and longing for those same situations and surroundings.
One RealHeartstring grabber of a book!

One Of The Best I've Read.
