Chosen by a Horse – Book Review

Dobroye
Utra, guys! (‘good morning’ in Russian)
:3

Here
I want to make a brief review about a book I have read a couple of days ago
titled “Chosen by a Horse” by Susan
Richard, an American writer.

This
book I’ve read is actually not mine. It’s my friend’s, Afi. I borrowed it
around two weeks ago, and I finished it in a week. Pretty long, huh? 😀

Well,
it was because I always make a note for every new vocabulary I found in the
book. And, it was kind of….. a lot
of important vocabularies I should write down. : ))))

On
the front cover, you can see the title and a short sentence :

“How a broken horse fix a broken
heart”

And
on the back cover, there is a brief synopsis. Here it is :

A book for anyone who has ever
loved a horse,

and for everyone who has ever lost
a loved one

When Susan
Richards agrees to give a home to one of the abused horses just taken in by the
local Animal Rescue Centre, a new chapter opens in his turbulent life. She lost
her mother at age of five and was raised by uncaring relatives; married
unhappily and divorced, she had also become an alcoholic. Now, at 43, she finds
herself living with just horses for company: the diva-like Georgia, boyish
Tempo, and hopeless romantic Hotshot.

As Susan is vainly attempting to
capture the rescued horse assigned to her, a skeletal mare called Lay Me Down
walks into the horse trailer of her own volition. Susan takes her home, and so
begins a relationship that will change her view of the world.

And
here is one of testimonies I like,

“Chosen by a Horse contains several
extraordinary action sequences.. It also has moments of great silence and
stillness. I’ll never forget Lay Me Down or Hotshot.” – Newsday

Honestly, Chosen by a Horse is the most moving English book I have ever read.
Of course I cannot give you more spoiler, so that you can read and find how
gorgeous this book by yourself. Ehehe.. I can ensure you, after reading this
book, you will learn something new about life, love, destiny, and the meaning
of loss. It made me cry! :’)

So, guys, for who haven’t read this
book yet, grab your jacket and go to the library, or maybe you can browse it
online (for buying it or look for the e-book). I highly recommend this book for
all of you! : )))
