The three storylines of this novel all share the characters’ desire to save the last wild horses, the fabled Przewalski horse. Ranging from the distant past to a dystopian future, it weaves together the animals’ struggle for survival with the stories of the humans trying to save them. In the first story, set in the late 1800s, Russian Mikhail travels to Mongolia to find the near extinct horses. In 1992, Karin and her drug addicted son, Mathias, travel to Mongolia with a herd of the horses in hope of saving the species. Finally, in 2064, Eva and her daughter work to save the last pregnant mare of the species. Each beautifully written story is different, but all share humanity’s struggle for survival and connection.
VERDICT The full cast of narrators brings the beauty of Lunde’s (The End of the Ocean) novel to life in a moving performance.
