The Horses Summary

The Horses by Janina Matthewson

'A quiet and tender apocalyptic story' NATALIA THEODORIDOU
'Stayed with me after the final page' FREYA BROMLEY

A moving story of isolation and mankind's connection with nature, perfect for fans of Emily St. John Mandel and Jon McGregor.

Sarah wakes up one morning feeling that something big, something irrevocable has happened.

To the small island community of Black Crag, it seems as though the rest of the world has gone to sleep - aeroplanes no longer criss-cross the sky, the radios have gone silent and the ferry no longer brings their supplies.

When the ferryman Arthur arrives, traumatised and silent, the whispers about what has happened on the mainland quickly turn into heated arguments.

As the chasm dividing the villagers continues to grow, Sarah struggles to find her purpose amidst the chaos. With a harsh winter fast-approaching, will the villagers learn to work together in order to ensure their collective survival? Will Sarah find the answers she's looking for?

The Horses Reviews

The Horses is a quiet and tender apocalyptic story, as well as a propulsive mystery, at once gentle and formidable. I spent every minute of reading it in awe of its gifts. And when the horses arrive? A moment of pure magic that brought tears to my eyes. -- NATALIA THEODORIDOU, author of Sour Cherry
Poetic and brilliant. Matthewson's writing conjured an atmosphere that stayed with me after the final page. -- FREYA BROMLEY, author of My Tidal Year
