Title: I bought this book with great hope
Review: Though the author seems to know horses, the character of Annemarie left much to be desired. She was written as to be so absorbed in self pity, that she couldn't see any of the characters around her.When I read that her father was suffering from the last stages of ALS I would have thought that she would come out of herself to some extent and read on in that hope. But these characters were shuffled aside while she whined and cried over what she couldn't have for most of the book.I read on in hope, but found that whether it was her daughter going through the throes of growing up, her mother trying to give her father dignity in his last days or even the man she professes to fall in love with.... the character is so mired in her self interests as to be almost disgusting.I was sadly disappointed in the story.
