    A Coming of Age Tale That Touches The Soul.
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2018*

“None of you realise the consequences of your gossiping. Not one of you.”Rafferty Lincoln is in his last year of school. He’s going through all the social anxiety any lad his age runs through and on top of that he has bad relations with his step-father. The lust of his life is the unobtainable Liberty Ashburn. But then he finds Minty and the horse-mad Liberty is hooked. Together with Wilbur, Liberty’s brother and the odd kid Dexter, who is the school victim, Rafferty sets about keeping the horse a secret. A secret that takes over their lives...There are times I could wish for a louder voice to tell the world about a book. This is one such time for this is a powerful book. It touches on the darkest side of childhood and teenage - the wanton, thoughtless, cruelty to peers; the vulnerability and loneliness; the misery of being victims of family disagreements or worse. But it is not a dark book. It is buoyant and hopeful, with humour and friendship. Above all it is real. No adult can read this and not be taken back to their days at school and any teen reading it is going to recognise themselves in this story. And that is no accident, it has been masterfully crafted by a brilliant author to be that way.“Bloody Dexter,” I mumbled loudly, turning to flash a sweet smile back at him. “You wait, I’ll be a horse whisperer before you know it.”The strongest point in this book has to be the characters. They are all so real, with the complexities of good intentions and thoughtlessness, kindness and selfishness, courage and cowardice - the paradox of being human and more so in the exaggerated landscape of teenage where individuals are still trying to navigate their sense of self between the shoals of those extremes. The pace is perfect, rising and falling with the mini-crises, like waves running up a beach, until the final tsunami sweeps the story away.The story itself is made believable, although objectively it is unlikely that a group of teens could find a place deserted enough to hide a horse and have no one notice for months on end. But the author makes it possible. The ending is bleak but not without hope. There is no final confirmation and the reader is left with the feeling that perhaps the ultimate verdict is not as absolute as even the characters seem to believe. I liked that.‘Looking back, I always wondered who saw whom first. Did the horse already know I was approaching from the rhythmic whirring of my wheels as I free-glided down the hill, or did I see the horse first, grazing on the grass verge down the dip in the narrow country lane?’If I were to find fault with this book at all it would be in the amount of foreshadowing. There is a lot too much of blatant foreshadowing rather than subtle and towards the end of the book rather than ramping up tension it becomes more of a spoiler. The events that unfold there would be more powerful, in my opinion, if they were not flagged up by the author and came to the reader as more of a surprise. In anticipating them, the impact is diminished. There are a few too many ‘if only I’d known’ type comments, so the events come to seem more inevitable than avoidable, when the truth is they were totally avoidable. But that is a very small fault in what is a truly masterful piece of writing.I loved this book. If I had to say who I recommend should read it, that is easy - everyone should.

    A compelling read, no matter your age.

A great read. From the first page I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. Emily Williams has created characters who are totally believable, and has woven a story that is unusual and intriguing. It’s not a book just for the young. Rafferty Lincoln Loves will strike a chord for us older ones who can easily recall the ups and downs of childhood relationships. Looking forward to the next book.
