Critics Review
‘A classic adventure narrative in the vein of Patrick Leigh Fermor and Robert Louis Stevenson: this is a life-changing, continental trek on foot and on horseback that captures the clarity, freedom and desperate joys of long distance travel and the closeness and intimacy of the herd. Romantic in so many senses of the word - a love story, a wilderness quest, a kaleidoscope of European culture and language’ Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment
‘An utterly enchanting debut - a new favourite book. I was riding side by side with the author, every step of the way’ Antonia Fraser
‘An awe-inspiring tale of adventure, grit, and the deep bond between man, horse and nature - a story that will stir the soul of every reader who dreams of pushing beyond the horizon’ Alastair Humphreys, author of Microadventures
‘A young man with an old soul takes on an ancient journey by horseback across Europe. This is a striking debut that will transcend its time: an emotionally taut, beautifully written book for eternally restless romantics’ Sophy Roberts, author of Lost Pianos of Siberia
Louis D. Hall
After growing up in Scotland, Louis D. Hall went on a trip to northern Mongolia, aged 18, in search of the Tsaatan tribe. It was on this trek that he first encountered the connecting powers of the horse. He then embarked upon a 1147-mile ride down the length of the UK, which raised money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and laid the foundation for The Big Hoof, a Scottish a mental health charity that creates long distance rides. Since his 110-day journey across Europe with Sasha, Louis has been working for NGO Insulate Ukraine. He lives between Kyiv, Oxford and Amsterdam.
