Mercury by Margot Livesey
When a talented young thoroughbred arrives to board at the Windy Hill stable where Viv works, Viv becomes obsessed with the thought of re-entering the show world that she gave up when she married, and she begins treating the horse as if it were her own.
Her husband Donald is slow to realize that her infatuation with the horse, Mercury, is eating away at their happy marriage.
Because this is written in first person from the eyes of both Donald and Viv, careful reading is necessary to follow the action.
