Book Review: "The Mare" b Mary Gaitskill

This is not my typical type of book, but I thought I would give it a try since it had horses in it.  It is about a troubled poor girl that has a trouble rich woman take her under her wings. 

The characters were very realistic and very troubled.  The horse scenes were mostly accurate and showed how horses can help people through difficult times.  I often wanted to yell at the characters because they were being so ridiculous, but the horses were always accurate and true.  But isn't that how horses always are?

I liked the book, even though it was out of my genre.  If it wasn't for the horses, though, I wouldn't have cared for it at all.
