My review:?????

Rough Magic; Riding the world’s wildest horse race by Lara Prior-Palmer is the true story of Lara’s experience of riding in the Mongol Derby, which is the world’s toughest horse race.  Every August, riders have to ride wild ponies over a 1,000 km course within 10 days.

This is a fascinating read, and takes you day by day through her adventure!  It is an epic ride, and is very atmospheric. 

I hadn’t heard of this race before, but was hanging on to the book, wanting to know what would happen next.  You’re told the race outcome early on, but not how it happened, and that’s what kept me turning pages!  Literally a wild ride!

Rough Magic was published on 6th June 2019 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

I’m afraid I couldn’t find a link for you to follow Lara Prior-Palmer.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Ebury Publishing.
