Miss Chance - Tapa dura

Praise for Rogue Lion Safaris:

‘Barnes has created a new category of adventure story, doing for safaris what Dick Francis has done for horse-racing, but better written’
The Times

‘An exceptionally good first novel’
Mail on Sunday

‘This novel is just about the next best thing to going on safari oneself, such is its evocation of place’
Oxford Times

‘It has the smell and feel of the bush... It is sad, it is true, and it is a good story’
The Spectator

A wonderfully engaging novel about a man and the horse he falls in love with – the idiosyncratic Miss Chance.

Simon Barnes is now a proven novelist as well as an award-winning sports writer for The Times and the Spectator. As anyone reading his weekly
Saturday column in The Times will know, however, his greatest passion is horses – from racehorses to carthorses, Simon loves them all. And now he
has written a wonderfully engaging novel about a man and the horse he falls in love with – the idiosyncratic Miss Chance. Full of quirky characters, both human and equine, Miss Chance is a fine novel that will break out Barnes’s fiction to a much bigger audience.
