A review by themadmadmadeline
Horse Heaven by Jane Smiley

5.0

I adore this book: it is officially my favorite book of all time. I seriously felt like it was made especially for me. The book is so gorgeously detail oriented and Smiley did an especially beautiful job of weaving a complex and connected tapestry of human emotion and relationships. It was in a word, gorgeous. I was so engrossed by the writing, the style and the impeccable attention Smiley paid to the intense world of horse racing.



Not a book I would recommend to the casual reader, but for a horse person this is truly a masterpiece; Smiley is a genius.
