Not Enough Time by Henrietta Knight
The rollercoaster story of a great love, between racehorse trainer Henrietta Knight and her husband, Terry Biddlecombe, who trained the great Best Mate to win three consecutive Cheltenham Gold Cups, before the horse's shocking death in 2005 and Terry's in 2014.
'As much a love story as a memoir.. Knight writes movingly about their unexpected joy together and the emptiness and loss it left behind' Observer (2015 Books of the Year).
'The rollercoaster story of a great love between Henrietta and Biddlecombe. It is a story of triumph and tragedy in equal measures' East Anglian Daily Times.
'Although essentially a human story, Knight recalls golden memories of Best Mate's Cheltenham treble plus relating in tear-jerking fashion their superstar's death at Exeter in 2005. Sure to be popular with racing fans, who took the couple to their hearts' Oxford Times.
'A love story in the real sense of those words ... It is funny, it is searingly honest, it is brave and it is moving. Anybody who can read either the prologue or the conclusion of Not Enough Time without a moistness in the eye must have something other than blood flowing through their veins' Robin Oakley, The Spectator.
'Open and immensely readable' The Times.
'A brilliant account of [Knight's] marriage with Terry Biddlecombe ... I recommend this book' The Sun.
'A very readable book about a proper racing love story and, with Christmas not far away, would be an ideal gift for any racing fan' Racing Post Weekender.
'Knight's latest book gives a glimpse into the life that she shared with her great love Terry Biddlecombe ... The beautifully written narrative feels truly honest and flows in a way that makes it seem as though Hen is there, telling you the story personally' Horse and Hound.
'Those who enjoy romantic fiction will treasure this book all the more for the fact their story was very real indeed' Racing Post.
'I read the book in one night, gripped. Yes, it's sentimental, but it's beautifully written, funny and tear-jerking and a reminder never to give up on true love' Country Life.
