Picked this book up thinking I'm in for an easy read, only to find myself tearing up as I am reading the last chapter four hours after I started the first.
"If we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop and yet do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt."

I read this book once when I was like 11 and didn’t know much English yet, and have spent so long trying to find it.
It has such a clear message, and makes it so personal by showing it through the perspective of a horse.

2023 Book 7
26.08.2023 - 15.09.2023
This is a book that has been on my bookshelf since I was a child and I remember trying to read it and finding it too hard. Funnily enough I had a conversation with a colleague who said the same thing!
However it's such an easy read and I love how the story is written from Black Beauty's perspective, retelling his life story
