Miss Chance by Simon Barnes
A wonderfully engaging novel about a man and the horse he falls in love with – the idiosyncratic Miss Chance. Simon Barnes is now a proven novelist as well as an award-winning sports writer for The Times and the Spectator. As anyone reading his weekly Saturday column in The Times will know, however, his greatest passion is horses – from racehorses to carthorses, Simon loves them all. And now he has written a wonderfully engaging novel about a man and the horse he falls in love with – the idiosyncratic Miss Chance. Full of quirky characters, both human and equine, Miss Chance is a fine novel that will break out Barnes’s fiction to a much bigger audience.Praise for Rogue Lion Safaris:
`Barnes has created a new category of adventure story, doing for safaris what Dick Francis has done for horse-racing, but better written’
The Times
`An exceptionally good first novel’
Mail on Sunday
`This novel is just about the next best thing to going on safari oneself, such is its evocation of place’
Oxford Times
`It has the smell and feel of the bush… It is sad, it is true, and it is a good story’
The Spectator
Simon Barnes is an award-winning sports journalist (The Times, Spectator) and author of Horsesweat and Tears, as well as several books on wildlife and conservation.
