Nicholas Evans has worked for a number of years as a film writer and producer. He and his wife live in London with their two children. The Horse Whisperer is his first novel.
A forty-ton truck hurtles out of control on a snowy country road, a teenage girl on horseback in its path. In a few terrible seconds the life of a family is shattered. And a mother's quest begins -- to save her maimed daughter and a horse driven mad by pain. It is an odyssey that will bring her to...
The Horse Whisperer
He is the stuff of legend. His voice can calm wild horses and his touch heal broken spirits. For secrets uttered softly into pricked and troubled ears, such men were once called Whisperers. Now Tom Booker, the inheritor of this ancient gift, is to meet his greatest challenge.
Annie Graves has traveled across a continent with her daughter, Grace, and their wounded horse, Pilgrim, to the Booker ranch in Montana. Annie has risked everything -- her career, her marriage, her comfortable life -- in her desperate belief that the Whisperer can help them. The accident has turned Pilgrim savage. He is now so demented and dangerous that everyone says he should be destroyed. But Annie won't give up on him, for she feels his fate is inextricably entwined with that of her daughter, who has retreated into a heartrending, hostile silence. Annie knows that if the horse dies, something in Grace will die too.
In the weeks to come, under the massive sky of the Rocky Mountain Front, all their lives -- including Tom Booker's -- will be transformed forever in a way none could have foretold. At once an epic love story and a gripping adventure, The Horse Whisperer weaves an extraordinary tale of healing and redemption -- a magnificent emotional journey that explores our ancient bonds with earth and sky and hearts untamed. It is a stirring elegy to the power of belief and self-discovery, to hopes lost and found again.

非常喜歡的一本書。中學的時候先看的電影,後來在美國看的書。曾經以為婚外情是骯髒可恥的,看完這個覺得即使是婚外情,也有它純潔唯美的一麵。全書的最後一句印象很深,in case you forget。眼淚就落下來。

評分In case you forget.
評分攝人心魄
評分2000年鼕天讀到這本書的中譯本。一直想找英文版來看。最後一次讀它是2005年鼕天。一直為全書的最後一句話而震撼--"以免你忘記。---In case you forget。" 每次想起這句話,都覺得aching。
