Based on interviews with Sonia, a racehorse trainer, Kathryn Scanlan plunges us into this closed universe that exists like a small world apart. It’s a brutal world in which only the greatest passion for horses enables them to survive in difficult conditions… moving from place to place, sleeping in caravans or in hay, dodging the violence of men. Sonia takes everything that comes her way with a quiet philosophy of life. An exceptional portrait and a pleasure to read.
“They liked me okay but I was still a girl trainer. Everything you do, you’ve got to do twice as good.”
