Description
The Horseman by Tim Pears is a beautiful and hypnotic pastoral novel set in Devon in 1911. In a forgotten valley on the border of Devon and Somerset, the seasons unfold according to the farming calendar, marked only by the rituals of the land. Twelve-year-old Leopold Sercombe skips school to help his father, a carter, while dreaming of a job on the estate's stud farm. It is there that he meets Miss Charlotte, the Master's daughter, who appears unexpectedly dressed in formal attire. Their friendship is bound by a deep love of horses, but social boundaries soon become increasingly difficult to navigate as they approach adolescence. As the seasons pass, the children's lives are marked by the rhythms of nature and the strictures of their world. This poignant novel explores the complexities of childhood friendships and the challenges of growing up in a changing world.
