Pegasus
Pegasus is a wonderful novel by author Danielle Steel. It is a beautiful story of two families, who
left familiar homes and country to start a new life in USA and also
England. The war years intervened and
the story continues to the following generations. This novel is very inspirational and also
gives the reader a sense of belonging to this story. It certainly is an achievement as the
characters of the novel seem so real.
I loved the story, which opens in the beginning chapters in
Bavaria, Germany and continues the narrative in USA and gives the reader an understanding of the lives the people led
before the intervention of the war years and how lives were disrupted and also
how fortunes could change.
This book is also a beautiful story of the Lipizzaner
horses, beautiful horses which were trained for the Spanish Riding School. This aspect of the novel is also quite
beautiful and very poignant to read of the bonds which were formed between the
horses and their owners, in particular, the beautiful white horse, Pegasus, and
Nicky, a main character of the novel.
This book is a wonderful story of life and love, friendships
which endured and a story of the main characters and how their lives panned out
over many years, which entailed even working in a circus in USA,which in
itself, was a revelation for the wonderful descriptions of circus life and the
animals as well as the life in the circus for Nicky and his two sons, Tobias
and Lucas. The story of Pegasus and the
links formed between the two families, of which Pegasus is a saving grace, is a
recurring theme of the novel. A
wonderful story and well recommended.
