BESCHRIJVING

Based on transcribed interviews with Sonia, a horse trainer, the novel vividly captures the arc of one woman’s life at the racetrack – the flat land and ramshackle backstretch; the bad feelings and friction; the winner’s circle and the racetrack bar; the fancy suits and fancy boots; and the ‘particular language’ of ‘grooms, jockeys, trainers, racing secretaries, stewards, pony people, hotwalkers, everybody’ – with eonomy and integrity.

As Scanlan puts it, ‘I wanted to preserve – amplify , exaggerate – Sonia’s idiosyncratic speech, her bluntness, her flair as a storyteller. I arrived at what you could call a composite protrait of a self.’
