Features: A classic of bittersweet love! This book was named one of Publishers Weekly's Top 100! The same-named film won the American Golden Globe Award! "They ranked first! The film won the American Golden Globe Award! Silently, they turned their bodies into poetry." This book offers a touch of indulgence, a romantic encounter—it is the deep yearning of a woman who has shed her urban gloss, tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, and seeks the melody of nature. In the northern part of New York, where the snow lies thick, a 13-year-old girl named Kress is riding her beloved horse, "The Pilgrim," when an accident occurs. She collides with a truck, losing a leg, and "The Pilgrim" is on the brink of death. To save her daughter and the horse she is deeply attached to, her mother Anne—a fiercely independent and stubborn newspaper editor—leads the horse on a journey to seek the legendary "Horse Whisperer."
After a long and arduous journey, they meet a cowboy named Tom Booker in Montana, in the Rocky Mountains. The strong and resilient Tom, with his extraordinary charisma and skill, overcomes unimaginable difficulties, gradually healing "The Pilgrim" and Kress. Slowly, he also begins to win Anne's heart. Anne would rather give up her urban achievements and family to be with Tom forever, but for the sake of worldly morality and public opinion, and to escape an unbearable fate, Tom bravely faces the wild herd of horses, rescues Kress, and embarks on a path toward his soul's return, while Anne also gives up returning to the bustling world.
The prose is simple yet romantic. With extremely delicate and gentle brushstrokes, it describes an atmosphere that can only be understood with the heart. It vividly portrays subtle changes, tremors, and joys, highlighting profound sorrow and longing.
