About this listen

Catherine Cookson’s well-loved novels Hamilton and Goodbye Hamilton tell the story of Maisie, who invented an imaginary horse to keep her company through the long years of an unhappy marriage, and before she became a best-selling author. In this engaging sequel, Hamilton has vanished from Maisie’s life and two human companions take his place.

Catherine Cookson is one of my favourite authors but I struggled to get into this story.
The synopsis said it was a sequel to the fabulous Hamilton books but this must've been an error. It bears no resemblance in any way.

A bit bland
