'It's not true,' says a character in Jane Smiley's funny, passionate and brilliant new novel, 'that anything can happen at the racetrack,' but many astonishing and affecting things do - and in Horse Heaven the universe of horse racing - passionate, cold-hearted, pure, corrupt - is woven into a marvellous tapestry of joy and love, chicanery, folly, greed and reckless courage. Spanning two years on the circuit, from Kentucky and California to New York and Paris, Horse Heaven puts us among trainers and track brats, horse-obsessed girls, nervy jockeys, billionaire breeders and restless track wives, weaving its tale with tenderness and exuberance.
