AN UNBREAKBLE BOND CAN LEAD TO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS
When Kathleen finds a mare in foal, she and her father take him in, despite the fact that they can barely afford to feed her. Tragically the mare dies, leaving an orphan that they name The Enchanted. As the young horse grows up among Ireland's lush pastures, Kathleen loses her heart to him...
But as Kathleen has always feared The Enchanted must be sold. Rory James and his father take a chance on the little horse in the hope of improving the fortune of their run-down racing yard. But luck does not run Rory's way when The Enchanted mysteriously sickens. It seems that only Kathleen can help.
And it is only under her care that The Enchanted is able to live up to his name and astonishing things start to happen to all those around him.
A galloping read...Bingham relishes her period detail and social comedy and adds a touch of whimsy
—— SUNDAY TIMESExtraordinary narrative...gripping and unrelenting in its remarkable portrayal of the underside of medieval society...no-one who reads this will think of Robin Hood and his merry men in quite the same way again
—— Allan Massie , The ScotsmanA fascinating and complex novel - as remarkable in its way as Ulverton
—— Henry Power , Times Literary SupplementA testament to Thorpe's talent as a storyteller... Medieval England, in all its brutality, is brought vividly to life by Thorpe's insight and impressive scholarship
—— Francesca Segal , ObserverA tour de force around an elusive thirteenth-century figure who may, or may not, have been the original fantasy Robin Hood we think we know and love. Let's hope this year's Booker lot are up to estimating this wonderfully subtle and layered book at its true worth
—— Gillian Tindall , Literary ReviewMasterly... powerful
—— IndependentStuffed with brilliant hilarity
—— SpectatorWhat elevates The Making of Henry..is the way it talks about love. That, and being funny
—— GuardianThis is brilliantly, biliously funny. It is also painfully, movingly sad...Expansive and compassionate... Sharp and hilarious, this latest novel shows Jacobson at his best
—— ObserverA story of modern love that will have readers laughing and sighing with recognition... A wry, insightful, thoroughly enjoyable tale about how men and women choose their demons and their lovers, and the sacrifices they're willing to make for both
—— Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionDelightful... Her characters are, as always, wonderfully imperfect
—— New York Review of Books
