WHERE WHITE HORSES GALLOP: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 07500008B22018
English Summary/英文概要： It is 1939 and England has declared war on Germany. Three friends enlist in the legendary Cape Breton Highlanders – fisherman Hector MacDonald, gifted musician Benny Doucet, and Calum MacPherson – sailing off to war in November 1941. But Calum’s brother Hamish, handicapped and unable to serve, remains at home in Beinn Barra. And Alex MacGreggor, fisherman and poet, refuses to enlist. Alex is in love with the postmistress with the thick ankles, and when the conscription men come for him he hides in a false wall in his mother’s attic.
Their families wait for their return. Hector’s father, Gunner MacDonald, knows only too well what his fisherman son will witness in the trenches of Europe. Joachim and Ona MacPherson seek solace in each other. Napoleon and Flora Doucet finger their rosary beads at the kitchen table and pray for Benny’s safety.
Where White Horses Gallop is a haunting, beautifully written tale of friendship and the trauma of war where emotional bullets riddle the spirit long after the guns in the Arielli Valley and the Delfzijl trenches have grown silent.
