This was a delightful slice of life book. It showed the effect of WWI on ordinary rural people of the Northwest. You see the world thru the eyes of Martha Lessen, a young woman alone with her own ideas of horse breaking. As she begins to know her neighbors and care, so does the reader. It was nice to see the animals personalized without making them humans with fur. If you enjoyed "The Faraway Horses" or anything by Monty Roberts, you will enjoy her "horse whispering". I am recommending this book to anyone interested in history and horses. An excellent people book.
