A review by freddie
The Dark Horse by Rumer Godden

2.0

The story's climax is built on randomness so much of the novel feels aimless. Who or what is the focus of the entire novel - the horse? The nuns? The stable boy? The rich people? The lack of clear focus makes the story feel meandering. Also, the colonial backdrop (and perhaps nostalgia) detracts somewhat from the coziness of the story.
