The Horse Whisperer - My experience







The book that I just finished was extremely touching. The plot is a very tightly knit story about the wounded soul of a mother, a daughter and their Horse which is experiencing physical trauma. As the horse is the only straw left for the mother to save her child's spirit and their relationship, she decides to approach the Horse whisperer to treat the horse, never realising that the whisperer soon whispers words of love and affection between the mother and daughter. Their relationship which was estranged and dry soon blossoms into a loving one, thanks to the lovely supporting characters, who gradually build on the self esteem and confidence of the little girl. Meanwhile, the mother who is a corporate hotshot, finds time for herself and her daughter, never realising that she is gradually falling in love with the Horse whisperer himself. The romance between them is well written, leaves the reader wanting more romantic encounters between the two. The flow of the story is extremely natural and some of the moments of the story are very well written. Especially the one when the mother cries her heart out at the soldier's memorial and feels the pain. The strange fact about the story is that the Horse whisperer is sketched as a God, always giving, not having a flaw in himself, living the life to the fullest. Maybe, we need more Horse whisperers in our lives to turn the spirit of emotions back. The ending is tragic and leaves the readers shocked and feeling helpless at the situation and the mean heartless way the author ends the tale. Brought a tear in my eye. Hope you guys enjoy reading the book. I suggest you to!
