Centaur of attention!

| 0 comments

A Man. A Horse. A Ghost.

Read Centaur by Declan Murphy and Ami Rao.

The stunningly evocative and extraordinary memoir of the jockey who came back from the dead, of memory, loss, and the bond between man and horse. – Blurb

You don’t need to know anything about horse racing to enjoy this beautifully written, heart-rending story. Released to critical acclaim, readers’ reviews simply could not be better –

“Beautifully written and genuinely revealing. It is brilliant. A work of art, Centaur has a rhythm all of its own but more than that, it has an immense depth of soul and spirit. Declan has been brave enough to show himself raw, at his most vulnerable, and Ami has been clever and empathetic in her telling of the story. Together they have made magical music. The rhythm of the prose reads like a Declan Murphy-ridden race: beautiful and steady, balanced and spiritual before unleashing its dangerous sprint to the line.” – Clare Balding
