Notes
General Note
The book is essentially a murder mystery, but it is also an exquisite literary achievement. * Foreword Reviews * Author Oakland Ross provides an intriguing conclusion ... leaving both character and reader satisfied. * Quill & Quire * Set against a bridle-creakingly realistic background of horsemanship, and fueled by the dual mystery of the circumstances surrounding Hilary's departure from South Africa, and then Canada, this is an intriguing coming-of-age novel. * Booklist *
Description
"Eighteen-year-old Hilary Anson's startling good looks and wanton ways soon scandalize the denizens of sleepy Kelso County, but young Sam Mitchell is instantly enthralled by his new friend. Over one sun-soaked summer, Hilary vastly improves Sam's equestrian skills, but also drops inscrutable details about her past in apartheid-era South Africa. Mysteries mount, until Hilary vanishes, leaving at least one unsolved murder in her wake. Many years and two failed marriages later, Sam sets out for South Africa, determined to crack the enigma of Hilary Anson. In doing so, he finds himself confronting a shocking secret of his own. A coming-of-age tale with the narrative kick of an international thriller, Swimming with Horses is a morality play for modern times, shining a light of hope on the darkest corners of the human heart."--|cProvided by publisher.
