In the early 1970s, trainer Tommy Hansel attempts a horse racing scam at a small, backwoods track in West Virginia, but nothing goes according to his plan when the horses refuse to cooperate and nearly everyone at the track seems to know his scheme.
Reviews with the most likes.
Despite floundering through the first 50 or so pages (maybe more?), I loved reading this book. Her physical descriptions of people and animals are intensely good, Margaret's is one of the best female characters I've ever met in fiction, and I appreciated that Gordon allowed me to love Toe-Tie and Elizabeth. And Pelter.
