Loved the story, so much so that I looked up the history of the riding school and watched clips of the riders on you tube, amazing! Brilliant writing as always, love jojo moyes books. I listen on the way to and from work and she just whisks you away to other places, fantastic way to spend a journey :) can't wait to read more of her books.

Amazing, heart warming story

Beautiful, just beautiful! A story of loss, love and hope.

Had tears in my eyes more than once - particularly the last few chapters.
The dedication is lovely too.

Wasn’t crazy about the narrators approach to the male voice - made them all sound like old men....but needed to try to ignore so it didn’t detract from beautiful moments.

Beautiful

A beautiful story with many cameos of wisdom and life lessons. Must be read to the end including the epilogue and note from the author. So far the best book I have read from Jojo Moyes.

Simply beautiful … and thought provoking.
