About this deal
This is an enjoyable Francis novel simply because the character of Gabriella is one of the better Francis heroines. It's not great literature, but from what I remember from college work, great literature isn't exactly fun.
He quits his desk job and takes a much more physical one instead, overseeing the air transport of horses.The choices made are rational choices directed by a firm objective philosophy that belies all of Francis's novels. I just listened to the Chivers Audio version of this book, narrated by Tony Britton, for the umpteenth time. Externally, very smart, with only some minor shelfwear to the head and tail of the spine and extremities. You will come to love the world of Steeple Chase racing, you will grow a fondness for horses, stables, trainers and the people who live in that world.
