Summary

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.

Wonderful story, beautifully told

Had me in tears several times. I became very wrapped up in the characters and cared about each immensely.

A very good listen.

Good story but drags a bit

I would definitely recommend this but I felt, in places, that the story dragged - a lot of day-to-day action and interaction that didn’t really add anything. I think the narration is pretty good overall (although I understand what people mean about the female characters and the attempt at an English accent) and I liked the ending. Altogether, a wonderful love story interwoven with a touching depiction of a struggle to overcome trauma.

Cinematic

1. If I summed up the ‘The Horse Whisperer’ by Nicholas Evans in 3 words, what would they be? - Pictorial, emotive and captivating.

2. How credible/believable did I find the narrator to be? - On occasion I found Grace’s voice grating and Annie’s English accent indistinct, but overall William Dufris did an admirable job.

3. Do I have any additional comments? - One reviewer described Nicholas Evan’s literary skills as him possessing the ability to - “paint with words” - I wholeheartedly agree. This novel is incredibly memorable, evocative and moving - an absolute pleasure and worthwhile read/listen.

“ Eventually, you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.”

A poignant tale

The Horse Whisperer is a beautiful descriptive story that is very well worked and gently woven together. In the manner of true penmanship the author encourages the reader to form emotional ties and develop familiar relationships with the story’s characters, which are excellently created and brilliantly portrayed.


It is a tale that expresses the human condition and our basic need for love, healing and acceptance and how that which is thought to be damaged and broken beyond repair can be the catalyst in completing the circle of life as we know it to be.

Never a dull moment to be had as this book sweeps the reader away upon a tumultuous, emotional and entertaining journey that any one can identify with
