In The Loneliness of Horses, Andrea Thalasinos weaves a captivating multigenerational saga that transcends time and geography. Set against the rugged backdrop of Nova Scotia and the deserts of northern Arizona, this novel explores the profound connections between two women, centuries apart, whose lives are dramatically reshaped by their fierce love for horses. Amid themes of displacement, resilience, and enduring bonds with nature, Thalasinos crafts a narrative that is as much about finding one’s place in the world as it is about the unspoken kinship between humans and animals. A testament to courage and the pursuit of freedom, the story delves into the heart of what it means to stand up for one’s beliefs and the intricate web of life that connects us all. Andrea’s rich background in sociology and her deep engagement with animal welfare illuminate every page, offering a compelling and deeply insightful story.

It’s also a unique tribute to the indomitable spirit we both share. Told with excellent voice and perfect pacing…it not only is a wonderful story, but also a testament to the power of spirit that unites us and the incredible relationship we all share.”

“The Loneliness of Horses is a beautiful love story told through the eyes of generations of displaced individuals who each become connected with wild and displaced animals. It is also of women making tough decisions. It’s a story of emigration. And finally, this book will let its reader know that there is nothing
quite so settling as finding real
companionship.”
