"I lived several lives in the brief instant before my feet touched the ground. The music stopped. I landed on the hard surface like an accomplished equestrienne. The equestrienne bowed. The audience applauded."
The Equestrienneisa poetic and caustically funny coming-of-age novel about the will of one young girl to realise her dreams; it is a celebration of friendship between women and also a bitter acknowledgement that greed and the desire for power can threaten any relationship.
