"Reading Jojo Moyes's newest novel, The Horse Dancer, I had to keep reminding myself that I was not, in fact, reading Dickens. . . As a storyteller, Moyes again takes a note from Dickens, moving easily between several storylines, toggling between the past and the present, the urban and the rural, the domestic and the professional, with ease and confidence. . . Moyes's vision of people lifted from despair by nothing more than love (and a little money) is nothing if not poignant." --Washington Post
"There's something in it everyone will love. . . The Horse Dancer is a heartfelt, gut-wrenching, emotional novel filled with moments of joy, excitement, and plenty of tears. In her signature style, Moyes has woven a complicated story about unforgettable characters you'll contemplate long after you finish reading. . . a multi-generational story that will tug at heart strings and leave everyone reaching for the tissues, and for a hug. Trust me, this is the kind of book you'll want to share with the ones you love." --Bustle
"Fans of Moyes (Paris for One and Other Stories, 2016, etc.) know what to expect from her books-big emotions, quirky characters, and a few tears-and this one delivers on all counts." --Kirkus Reviews
"With a touch of adventure, Moyes offers a lovely comment on the importance of discipline, love, and persistence in our relationships." --Booklist
"A tale brimming with tenderness and romance." --Marie Claire (UK)
"An inspiring love story . . . Billy Elliot in jodhpurs." -Daily Mail (London)
"A strikingly original tale which captivates from the first page." --Daily Express (London)
