LEARNING TO FALL: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码: 13566016B93709
English Summary/英文概要: Raised amidst the chaos and financial insecurity of her father’s
California horse training business, Brynn Seymour wants little
more than to leave the world of competitive riding behind. Brynn
would never abandon her love of horses, but she’s tired of the
life her father has groomed her for since she was young. As soon
as she can, Brynn plans to finish vet school and forge a quieter,
more stable future for herself, away from the risk, intensity, and
permanent upheaval of show jumping.
But when her father is trampled in a tragic accident, Brynn is
forced to rethink all of her plans. As much as she wants to run
away from the debt-ridden family business her father has left
behind, she can’t bear to let her father’s legacy collapse. As she
struggles to save the business—and her family—Brynn is forced
to reckon with the possibility that only the competitive riding
world she’s tried to turn away from can heal the broken places
inside of her. And maybe her dreams are closer to her father’s
Chinese Summary/中文概要:
Awards/获奖情况:“In her debut novel, Anne Clermont
takes us behind the high-stakes world
of Grand Prix show jumping―with
spectacular results. Not just the horses,
which she paints with a beauty and a
tenderness all their own, but the riders
and trainers and owners, the haves and
the wannabes, all come to vivid life. This
is a sport in which the jumps get higher
and higher with every round, and Anne
Clermont takes every one of them with
flamboyant and heart-rending ease. A
terrific showing.”
