Forced to share a house with her charismatic ex-husband, her professional judgement called into question, lawyer Natasha Macauley's life seems to have gone awry.

Daily Express Full Review
The Horse Dancer is a heartfelt, gut-wrenching, emotional novel filled with moments of joy, excitement, and plenty of tears. In her signature style, Moyes has woven a complicated story about unforgettable characters you'll contemplate long after you finish reading. A long but beautiful book about growing old, being young, and getting lost on the way from one to the other, The Horse Dancer is the perfect read to share with the family. Trust me, this is the kind of book you'll want to share with the ones you love.

With a touch of adventure, Moyes offers a lovely comment on the importance of discipline, love, and persistence in our relationships.

Fans of Moyes know what to expect from her books—big
emotions, quirky characters, and a few tears—and this one delivers on all counts.
Reading Jojo Moyes’s newest novel, 'The Horse Dancer', I had to keep reminding myself that I was not, in fact, reading Dickens.
