Description
The Ten O'Clock Horses by Laurie Graham is a story about Ronnie Glover's life, which takes an unexpected turn when Jacqueline bursts into his world. She teaches him to tango and seems to offer everything he ever dreamt of. However, it's unclear if this new relationship can overcome the painful memories of his childhood. As Ronnie navigates his feelings for Jacqueline, he must confront the reality of their differences. What are the chances that a woman who has travelled the world will want to settle with a man who carries a stub of pencil behind his ear? The arrival of the Ten O'Clock horses seems to signal a new era in Ronnie's life, but can it bring him true happiness? The story is set against the backdrop of 1962, a time of change and modernity. The first avocado pears are appearing at greengrocers, people are thinking about new ways to decorate their homes, and Ronnie must decide if he wants to hold on to his old life or take a chance on something new.
