Racked with guilt after leaving her wounded fiancé 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50102867722463,"sku":"9781068341755","price":28.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/sFNDEvlt_b9781068341755.webp?v=1781087506"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/kate-beales.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
