1911. In a forgotten valley on the Devon-Somerset border, the seasons unfold, marked only by the rituals of the farming calendar. Twelve-year-old Leopold Sercombe skips school to help his father, a carter. Skinny and pale, Leo dreams of a job on the estate's stud farm. He is breaking a colt for his father when a boy dressed in a Homburg, breeches and riding boots appears.

Peering under the stranger's hat, he discovers Miss Charlotte, the Master's daughter. And so begins a friendship between the children, bound by a deep love of horses but divided by rigid social boundaries - boundaries that become increasingly difficult to navigate as they approach adolescence.

Found this a most beautiful fascinating tale so true to life in a bygone age. Cannot wait for Book 2. Very characterful narration

Heartwarming

A little slow to start but gathered momentum. The tale is told,stunningly, mostly through the eyes of the carter’s son, in a series of vignettes. It shows the vanished world of the English countryside of a hundred years ago with description and detail that is a delight.

The book also becomes a spellbinding story.

Great narrator too.

Fascinating

On the one hand this novel is a slow and descriptive insight into another era. On the other is a sad and mournful tale of a lost youth and his strange view of his world.
The ending came as a sudden shock.
I’m not sure I can recommend this book. I was almost waiting for something to happen as each chapter began and then the final chapter turned the story on its head.
Puzzling.

Didn’t know what to make of it
