Book Synopsis



Praise for The Loneliness of Horses

"From the first page, this story captivated me. It's more than a tale about the magical connection between people and horses; it's a unique tribute to the indomitable spirit we both share." - Abigail Drake, award-winning author

"This beautifully crafted narrative delves into the relationship between humans and horses, alongside women's role as their advocates throughout the ages. The resilience and bravery of these characters touched me deeply." - Julia Huffman, TEDx speaker and executive producer of "Medicine of the Wolf"

"A thought-provoking book that touched my heart. The character of Evie and her compassion for all living things is a model for all advocates and reminds us of the importance of empathy." - Sandy Sisti, Wild at Heart Images

"A beautiful love story told through the eyes of generations of displaced individuals who each become connected with wild and displaced animals. It's a story of emigration and of women making tough decisions." - Joanne Berg, owner of Mystery to Me Bookstore

Two women, two centuries, and one unforgettable bond with horses.

Spanning two continents and two centuries, The Loneliness of Horses by Andrea Thalasinos is a moving historical novel about survival, resilience, and the profound connection between humans and animals.

In 1972 Arizona, Evie, a single mother escaping an abusive past, finds solace in an unexpected companion-a fugitive mustang seeking refuge at her ranch. As she rebuilds her life in the high desert, she discovers that trust, freedom, and healing can come from the most unexpected places.

In 18th-century Nova Scotia, Belle, a Highland Scot forced from her homeland, arrives in Canada with little more than her survival instincts and a deep love for her horses. In an unfamiliar and often hostile land, her strength is tested as she struggles to build a new life.

Perfect for fans of Where the Crawdads Sing, The Horse Whisperer, and Outlander, The Loneliness of Horses is a powerful novel that blends historical fiction, women's fiction, and animal-human bonds in a way that will resonate deeply with readers.

Perfect for readers searching for:

  • Historical fiction about wild horses and mustangs
  • Novels set in 18th-century Canada and 1970s Arizona
  • Women's fiction about resilience and overcoming adversity
  • Books about Scottish immigration and survival in the New World
  • Literary fiction with strong female protagonists
  • Horse rescue stories and the human-animal connection
