A wonderfully engaging novel about a man and the horse he falls in love with - the idiosyncratic Miss Chance.

Simon Barnes is now a proven novelist as well as an award-winning sports writer for The Times and the Spectator. As anyone reading his weekly
Saturday column in The Times will know, however, his greatest passion is horses - from racehorses to carthorses, Simon loves them all. And now he
has written a wonderfully engaging novel about a man and the horse he falls in love with - the idiosyncratic Miss Chance. Full of quirky characters, both human and equine, Miss Chance is a fine novel that will break out Barnes's fiction to a much bigger audience.
