Title: Dark Horses and Black Beauties: Animals, Women, a Passion.
Description: London Granta Books, 2001. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good plus condition (in very good plus dustjacket), decorative black & white text-photos. 254 pp. In a phenomenon too prevalent to be mere chance, little girls all over the Western world wake one day to find themselves completely taken over by the love of all things equine. Melissa was one of those horse-crazy girls who later returned to riding with a new appreciation for the nature of horses. Melding memoir, sociology, history, anecdote, and a bit of prose poetry, this book delves beneath the shallow hypotheses explaining women's connection to horses to look at how this communication with another animal opens us up to a new apprehension of the larger "natural" world.
