Book Reviews of Flying Changes: A Novel

Book Review: Water for Elephant lover
Summary: 4 Stars

I read Riding Lessons and Flying Changes because I was interested in Sara Gruen's other books after reading Water for Elephants.

As stated in my Riding Lessons review, I can't give these books 5 stars because I'm not a horse person and felt a slight disconnect with the storyline in that area, as well as when she was describing different horse and riding terms that I'm unfamiliar with.

That aside, I loved the characters and got lost in their stories. I read Riding Lessons in less than two days and hungrily craved every chance I could sneak a chapter or two of Flying Changes during busy holiday traveling. The storylines take dips and turns you aren't expecting, all while keeping you right in the character's head and emotions. They're really great stories and like Water for Elephants, ones I'd revisit again in the future when I start to miss the characters, as I sometimes do after great novels.

Summary of Flying Changes: A Novel

Anxiety rules Annemarie Zimmer's days-the fear that her relationship with the man she loves is growing stagnant; the fear that equestrian daughter Eva's dreams of Olympic glory will carry her far away from her mother . . . and into harm's way. For five months, Annemarie has struggled to make peace with her past. But if she cannot let go, the personal battles she has won and the heights she has achieved will have all been for naught.

It is a time of change at Maple Brook horse farm, when loves must be confronted head-on and fears must be saddled and broken. But it is an unanticipated tragedy that will most drastically alter the fragile world of one remarkable family-even as it flings open gates that have long confined them, enabling them all to finally ride headlong and free.
