Description
Set in 1950s America, On Swift Horses is a breathtakingly beautiful debut novel that explores revolution, chance and the human heart. Muriel's life is transformed when she begins secretly betting on horses at her San Diego diner job, leading to unexpected connections with those around her. As Muriel's luck grows, so do her feelings for Julius, a thief and Korean War veteran who has found himself in Las Vegas. Their paths cross through chance encounters, and their love burns brightly despite the risks and secrets that surround them. This mesmerising novel charts the journeys of Muriel and Julius as they search for freedom, new horizons and love. Through the streets of Tijuana and San Diego's bars and beaches, On Swift Horses weaves a tale of chance encounters, stolen moments and the power of human connection.
