Produktbeschreibung

Rafael is a young man, who grew up as an orphan in a shantytown on the outskirts of Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay, a South American country. His parents died when he was ten, and he was unofficially adopted by Carina, a British exile who had left England when she was twenty-five years. She has taught Rafael everything she knows about horses, and he has become a gifted and intuitive horseman. When Carina died, Rafael went to work as a stable boy at the Melilla riding school, but he had no chance to demonstrate his equestrian talents in a place ruled by pretentious notions of class. Opportunities are handed out according to wealth and family connections. Rafael's destiny is inextricably bound to that of Phoebe Lester-Blythe, an unhappy, overweight English schoolgirl whose father works at the British Consulate. This story crosses the world from South America to the home counties of Oxfordshire. It is a tale of passion for horses, intrigue, betrayal and revenge.

Autorenporträt

Jemma Spark was brought up on the west coast of Cornwall, riding her beloved pony, Spin, across the moors. Her parents were not horsey and there were no opportunities for her compete in gymkhanas or shows. After school, she moved up the Scottish Highlands to work as a nanny, before going down to London to study sociology, focusing on the post-war years in Britain. After she completed her degree she travelled the world living in South America, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, landing in Berlin. In recent years, she has been living in London, writing the Jill books and tutoring private students. Inspired by Jill's childhood in Chatton, she has just moved to Oxfordshire to live in a cottage in a leafy lane and is continuing to work on her Jill series.
