    About this ebook

    Getting a life isn't always easy. And hanging on to it is even harder.

    Known as The Nothing Girl because of her stutter, disregarded by her family, isolated and alone, Jenny Dove's life is magically transformed by the appearance of Thomas, a mystical golden horse only she can see. Under his loving guidance, Jenny acquires a husband – the charming and chaotic Russell Checkland – together with an omnivorous donkey and The Cat From Hell.

    Jenny's life will never be the same again, but a series of 'accidents' leads her to wonder for how long she will be allowed to enjoy it.

    Hailed as a fairy tale for adults, Jodi Taylor brings all her comic writing skills to a heart-warming and delightful story.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      This was a very pleasant surprise read. Got it as a freebie ebook - chosen mostly on the cover design :) Well written story about a socially awkward girl and a modern take on the marriage-for-convenience trope that doesn't feel forced.

    • 5/5
      I adore this novel. If you haven’t read Jodi Taylor, please start now. Pick up any one of her three series and have a go at it. I promise that you won’t be disappointed. I’m going to purchase this ebook ASAP.
      5 stars, and highly recommend to all.
