For a long time horses had not occurred to me at all.'For a long time, she and her husband have their dog and she almost certainly doesn't want to have a child.  But then the dog dies and she learns she can't have a child even if she wanted to, and she begins to think about horses again. When she hears about a mare who needs looking after part-time, it sounds like an ideal arrangement. Something to care for two days a week, without getting in too deep. But as she brushes and feeds and rides the horse, affection grows into obsession and she must confront what it means to love a being who did not come from her body and who does not belong to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmily Haworth-Booth's award-winning debut novel is a bold and beautiful exploration of contemporary (non)motherhood and the surprising ways in which desire can enthral us and set us free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tales on Market Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43491386261710,"sku":"9781803512808","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7727\/4318\/files\/9781803512808.jpg?v=1776348448","url":"https:\/\/top-hatandtales.co.uk\/products\/9781803512808","provider":"Top Hat \u0026 Tales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
