The Loneliness of Horses

Two women. Two centuries. One unbreakable bond.In 1972 Arizona, Evie-a single mother escaping an abusive past-finds an unexpected companion in a fugitive mustang seeking refuge at her ranch. In 18th-century Nova Scotia, Belle, a Highland Scot forced from her homeland, arrives in Canada with little more than her survival instincts and a fierce, sustaining love for her horses.Separated by two hundred years, their stories mirror each other in ways that feel inevitable: displacement, resilience, and the quiet courage to live by their own terms.Informed by Andrea Thalasinos's background in sociology and her deep commitment to animal welfare, The Loneliness of Horses is rich, grounded, and quietly powerful-a multigenerational novel for readers who know that the bonds we form with animals can be as defining as any we form with each other.For fans of Where the Crawdads Sing, The Horse Whisperer, and Outlander.
