The Last Jump

Cape Catley Ltd, Devonport, 2011. Good used condition.

Author Elizabeth Benney was a brat of a child. She's completely candid about it - self-centred, perverse, willful, obstinate... living for her one passionate obsession - horses.

Ah, but there are reasons for all of this in her autobiography. They gradually reveal themselves in this generous and rollicking New Zealand-American story that's hilarious as well as sometimes poignant and thoughtful.
