This is a book about horsemanship from classical equitation to race riding, with a look at the forms in which it is practised by such differently motivated riders as Cossacks, American Indians, sports competitors and soldiers in war and on ceremonial occasions.
A gripping historical novel that brings to life the dangerous world of Victorian plant-hunters and a long-buried secret that could have deadly consequences. Fans of Natasha Lester, Emily Gunnis and Kate Morton will adore this powerful debut novel.
