It could have been a simple love story, recounted among family at the end of a Sunday afternoon meal. But when it challenges the balance of an entire family, the priorities of the relationships between a mother, her daughter, and her own mother, things are bound to spiral out of control. At twenty, Valentine is a rising star in show jumping, riding her mare Love-Song, competing in one equestrian competition after another. Her mother is an English teacher at a high school, and Mounie, her retired grandmother, is the third member of this formidable trio. These three strong-willed women are about to shatter all the established norms, all the stifling unspoken family secrets, because the only thing that matters to them is the respect and love they have for one another. This book is a recognition of a new kind of freedom, claimed by three liberated women who speak to those who wouldn't dare, to those who have remained silent for so many years. It also takes us to places in the four corners of the world: Singapore, Dubai, the Sultanate of Oman. Finally, this story is for all those who love to travel. It describes the powerful feelings between its characters and thus falls into the category of contemporary novels exploring personal dilemmas, intergenerational dynamics, and family conflicts that are resolved in the kitchen, without the men of the house having access.
