71. The Horse Whisperer by Nicholas Evans

It's pulp fiction at its best. After a horrific accident, Grace works with Horse Whisperer, Tom Brooker, to try to heal the psychological scars left on her horse by the accident. Of course, her scars also need attention and through the process of regaining the horse's trust, Grace is able to heal as well. There's also a love story to deal with - but I actually quite enjoyed this. The opening scenes recounting the accident are really hard though. The book is written in a really lyrical, quiet style but the characters aren't portrayed in overly sentimental manner so you do actually come to care. For what it is, this is a pretty enjoyable read.
