The Horse Whisperer (made famous by the movie with the same name, starring Robert Redford) 
The author, Nicholas Evans was born and grew up in Worcestershire and was a screenwriter and film producer before writing his first novel, the phenomenal number one bestseller The Horse Whisperer. This book has now been translated into 36 languages and has sold more than fifteen million copies worldwide since its publication in 1995.
The story is about a thirteen year old girl out riding her beloved horse, Pilgrim, and being hit by a 40 ton truck. Both horse and girl are seriously injured, but survive. But the destiny of the girl and her family comes to depend on the horribly mutilated and traumatized Pilgrim.
The mother of the girl, Annie, hears about a "horse whisperer" in Montana who is said to have the gift of healing horses. She sets out across the continent with Grace and Pilgrim to try to find him.
A magical story! Beautifully written, romantic and full of delightful insights!
