baughga | 4 andere besprekingen | Apr 18, 2023 | Beautifully written story of the love that develops between a young woman and a horse amid a variety of young adult family issues. Very descriptive with details.The copyright is 2018 so I can only hope that English continues with her writing.

nyiper | 4 andere besprekingen | May 5, 2022 | Many stories have been written about grief, the impact of divorce/loss on children, the bond between a child and an animal, and the healing power of animals. Horse by Talley English brings all these elements together, promising a powerful and emotional story. However, for me, the emotional impact of the story does not come. I think that is primarily for two reasons - one about the plot and the other about the structure and language. The overall impact is unfortunately of a melancholy but vague story.

njmom3 | 4 andere besprekingen | Nov 16, 2018 | This is a lovely coming-of-age novel where the narrator is a privileged white teen who nonetheless evokes great sympathy for the ordeal of her parents' divorce and the destruction of her former life. It's also a love story between Teagan and her horse Obsidian, who was owned by her father and bought by him because the horse bit him at their first encounter (both of them are jerks, especially the father). Teagan goes to a fancy, horsey boarding school for her freshman year in high school, and Obsidian also boards at the school. When that year ends, they return home. There's a bit of time-shifting, with the grown-up Teagan looking back in alternate chapters, and some tragedy. The communication between girl and horse are paramount, and for a horse lover, very hard to resist.½

froxgirl | 4 andere besprekingen | Sep 26, 2018 | Oh this was a beautiful book. Saying it's about the relationship between a girl and her horse, or that it's a coming of age novel, just doesn't do it justice. It was poetry with a story.
