From the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars and the forthcoming Someone Else's Shoes, a novel about a lost girl and her horse, the enduring strength of friendship, and how even the smallest choices can change everything

When Sarah’s grandfather gives her a beautiful horse named Boo—hoping that one day she’ll follow in his footsteps to join an elite French riding school, away from their gritty London neighborhood—she quietly trains in city’s parks and alleys. But then her grandfather falls ill, and Sarah must juggle horsemanship with school and hospital visits.

Natasha, a young lawyer, is reeling after her failed marriage: her professional judgment is being questioned, her new boyfriend is a let-down, and she’s forced to share her house with her charismatic ex-husband. Yet when the willful fourteen-year-old Sarah lands in her path, Natasha decides to take the girl under her wing.

But Sarah is keeping a secret—a secret that will change the lives of everyone involved forever.

Critic reviews

“There's something in it everyone will love... 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 multi-generational story that will tug at heart strings and leave everyone reaching for the tissues, and for a hug. Trust me, this is the kind of book you'll want to share with the ones you love." (Bustle)

“Fans of Moyes (Paris for One and Other Stories, 2016, etc.) know what to expect from her books - big emotions, quirky characters, and a few tears - and this one delivers on all counts.” (Kirkus Reviews)

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

I loved this book. At times it seems the book contains details that need not be included, but it is worth plowing through. The end was predictable but it was still so enjoyable. I loved the book's exploration of family, relationships, and perseverance. I also appreciated how each character grows and changes through their trials. Highly recommend.

Sometimes heavy in detail but a great read

Characters were good, narration good but storyline just dragged out to long. If ur a fan of the author it's worth a listen, if this is ur first JoJo book - try the others they are SO much better.

Plot was meandering at first but really well done in the second half particularly. As a horse person I am pretty critical of equestrian stories and while this pushes the boundaries of what might be realistic, it wasn't so far off base that I couldn't really enjoy it. The characters were a good blend of making you both love them and want to strangle them. The audio performance was really lovely with the narrator's various tones and accents. Loved the ending.

Lovely storytelling and engaging plot

This was a good story. It hints at some real life issues, but without real life endings. It would make a great Disney movie. It was a little predictable in areas, but it was still entertaining and lighthearted.

Fairy Tale with a Happy Ending

This book was well written, elicited so many emotions, took you on journeys of people’s lives, country sides I have never seen but felt like I was there. And I also could envision the horse and rider. Thank you for taking me on this journey.
