Patagonia, 1921. Racked with guilt after leaving her wounded fianc?in the aftermath of the Great War, Georgie Carruthers crosses the ocean to southern Patagonia to forget the past and to start a new life as the governess of a motherless boy with the Creeds, a wealthy estancia family frozen in colonial expectations and manners. Central to this straight-jacketed world is Raul, the horse breaker whose warmth, wisdom and integrity captures Georgie's heart, just as Mr Creed starts to think Georgie might make a useful second wife. The initial love triangle subverts narrative expectations and breaks into a world of desperate politics. This novel has everything - wind-swept plains, horses, rebellion and passion. A perfect, beautiful storm of a novel which brings together the wild backcloth of Patagonia in the 1920s, unrest and revolution amongst the workers, straight-jacketed colonialism, a poignant love story and horses broken and unbroken galloping across the wind-torn plains. Two poignant relationships steal our hearts - between the horse breaker and the governess, and between the horse breaker and his beloved Hero. Both epic and intimate, Kate Beale pulls off a tense, filmic narrative that will keep you hooked until the last page.
