A Year at the Races - Reflections on Horses, Humans, Love, Money and Luck (Paperback, Main)

A candid exploration of the abiding bond between humans and horses from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley draws upon her first-hand knowledge to examine the horse on all levels - practical, theoretical and emotional. Drawing on the wisdom of trainers, vets, jockeys and a real-life horse whisperer, Smiley adds an element of drama and suspense as two of her own horses begin their careers at the racetrack. As the horses get closer to the winner's circle, we are enchanted, enthralled and informed about what it's really like to own, train and root for a racehorse. Superbly reviewed in hardback This gorgeous new paperback package will appeal to a broad memoir market as well as to fans of horse racing A crossover book in the manner of Seabiscuit, A Year at the Races is perfect for paperback promotions across the board
