- Summary
- Arthur the blacksmith goes to war with the 10th Light Horse, to care for the horses of his fellow soldiers. When he returns, Arthur's wife, Helen, and their children bear witness to a man forever damaged by what he has seen and suffered. As a second war looms, Arthur insists on his son Tom going to work in Sumatra. Tom is taken prisoner by the Japanese, but is sustained by memories of life on the farm at home and a growing understanding of his father. This big-hearted, beautiful novel captures the deep and mysterious connection between humans and horses - who's every presence lends a sweet, steady counterweight to human frailty, and whose nobility aligns with human courage
