Book Description
Anxiety rules Annemarie Zimmer's days—the fear that her relationship with the man she loves is growing stagnant; the fear that equestrian daughter Eva's dreams of Olympic glory will carry her far away from her mother . . . and into harm's way. For five months, Annemarie has struggled to make peace with her past. But if she cannot let go, the personal battles she has won and the heights she has achieved will have all been for naught.
It is a time of change at Maple Brook horse farm, when loves must be confronted head-on and fears must be saddled and broken. But it is an unanticipated tragedy that will most drastically alter the fragile world of one remarkable family—even as it flings open gates that have long confined them, enabling them all to finally ride headlong and free.

If there are more in the series, I won't be reading them.......2007-09-26
I did not care for this book or the prequel. I felt like I was getting depressed, scattered and pathetic as I read the thoughts of the main character.
As a horse loving adult, I will read any fiction I can find featuring horses that is aimed at adults but these two did not make my keep shelf!
Anyone who rides will love this book.......2007-09-15
I read Sara Gruen's Riding Lessons and then her follow-up Flying Changes and I was amazed at how well the author understands horses, stable management, and eventing. The story was fast paced and as a 40 something women with a teenage daughter and horses...I could totally relate. I hope she writes a third book in this series...I will pre-order...
A Wonderful story woven around horses .......2007-08-28
My friend gave this book for my birthday. We are both avid readers and she knew that I had read Sara Gruen's "Riding Lessons". I really enjoyed that book and I was delighted to receive the sequel, Flying Changes. With eager eyes I sat down that evening and read the book (well almost, I finished it up the following evening). It goes without saying that Ms. Gruen is a wonderful storyteller and she continued that ability in this story. I'm not expert on horses, but I thought that in this book she created a moving story with well crafted settings and high emotions. Annemarie, the single mother, pain is just one example. There are already excellent reviews posted and I won't go into detail and spoil the story for you if you haven't read the book. I will add that I found I could easily relate to the story and the characters. The ending wrapped everything with no loose ends and there's never a dull moment in this moving story. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to all my friends.
Another moving story that is a real stunner in Women's Fiction is Gathering of Cans by Robert L. Saunders. The author heralds the relationship between husband and wife in this romance with a bit of mystery novel. In this warm and wonderful story you will travel with Zoie Baker, the heroine, on her quest to build a swimming pool by gathering aluminum cans. She feels right down to her bones that this is her destiny. Unique cans that she stumbles on, i.e., Nehi, Mountain Dew, etc., takes the reader on a glorious journey in the life of Zoie from World War II where she meets Nat, a Marine, at a USO Club, through the 1980's. This gripping story will keep you up to read just one more chapter. Don't miss this fantastic book. You too won't be disappointed! Kim.
Not rave but good.......2007-08-26
This book is a fast read, easy to follow and basically a good story. It is somewhat predictable; however if you love horses it will hold your interest.
Quick read, hard to believe.......2007-07-09
First off, let me say that this book is an enjoyable read - it goes by fast for the most part. I read it in a couple days and would call it a fun book, but not something I will likely pick up again.
That being said, there are a few issues with this book and story. As others have stated, it is hard to care for the main characters, Annemarie and her daughter Eva, as they are both immature for their ages, 40 and 16. Eva runs around like a spoiled 5 year old half the time. However, I would imagine a main reason for this is the complete lack of parenting skills on Annemarie's part. She is a mother without a backbone, unable and unwilling to discipline and stand up to her daughter. When Eva gets expelled from school, what does Annemarie do? Send her off to train with a top jumper trainer in the area. Yeah, what kind of punishment is that? The girl is in need of a good bit of discipline, and the character of Annemarie falls short as a mother. She is also useless as a girlfriend to poor Dan. She is whiny and self absorbed - it is hard to believe anyone would want to be with her. And when the idea of marriage comes up, she can't even discuss it with him? What kind of adult can't discuss this sort of thing with someone they want to marry? Perhaps she should do a little growing up first. Also, even though I did read the first book, Riding Lessons, it has been a few years since I did. The author alluded to events that happened in that story without explaining them ... that made it a little more difficult since I couldn't remember exactly what occurred in the last book.
Also, there were some equine related things that I could not get past. First off, if Eva loves horses so much, then why is she galloping around on frozen ground at dawn trying to jump paddock fences? And on an older horse too ... I can't even imagine allowing someone that irresponsible around my horses. Also, there is the whole issue of the Nokota horse. While I know Nokota horses are athletic and versatile animals, I have a very very very hard time believing that a top jumper barn would have one in their string of show horses. Hello ... warmbloods, thoroughbreds ... indian pony? I just don't feel that was a plausible thing in the book. My other main gripe is the whole Smokey Joe not letting anyone but Eva ride him ... and then she jumps on his back and starts doing canter pirouttes, passage, and advanced dressage moves. That is completely not believable to me as it takes YEARS of training to learn that sort of thing. And how is a horse who no one can ride going to get that kind of training? And how is this little girl of 16 who has never even competed before getting him to do these things? It is basically not believeable to anyone who has any sort of horse knowledge whatsoever.
If you can get past that, realize that the equine events are a little unbelieveable, and ignore the character flaws, then I would recommend this book. If you just want a good beach read, I would recommend this book. If you are looking for a book that is accurate and digs deep, I would recommend you look elsewhere.

Boring yet good........2001-04-20
All in all, this book turned out to be okay. I couldn't really give it a much bigger rating than that because the topic was pretty boring to say the least. The only reason the book was good was because the author has talent and can make boring things seem at least interesting. I usually go for the more spectacular topics, but if you're looking for a relaxing read that doesn't make you think, try this.
i love horses and i loved this book, it was the greatest.......1999-10-17
i lovad this book it was very emotianal and exiting. i escpecially liked the horse in this book.
Excellent Young Adult horse fiction.......1996-12-12
This is a fun book, a realistic rather than romanticized
story about the trials of growing up and
working with horses. A good read for older horse-lovers.
Amazon.com
In Henry Taylor's 1986 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of poetry,
The Flying Change, he writes the poems of a country squire -- immersing himself in the beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains, pleasures for which a real farmer has neither the time or inclination. An anti-modernist in pursuit of states of grace, Taylor revels in such things as a "frisbee floating like milkweed," women's hands and "the charming old songs in their illegible syllables." His affection for his region is faithful and unmixed, and produces sweet variety in his moderate pastoral.
Customer Reviews:
Just more of the same. .......2005-05-05
Are you frickin' kidding me? Am I to understand this book received the Pulitzer? These sound like poems from a somewhat better-than-average first-year MFA student. Please, for God's sake, give yourself permission to call a spade a spade and don't get suckered by the aggressive political correctness, formal conservatism (cowardice), and marketing schemes that dominate the so-called "art world" of America. These poems are just lifeless, banal, as somebody else said, common, not at all courageous, and they take no risks, and the poet shows no genuine emotional vulnerability that I can see, but simply retreats into easy, pre-packaged emotional conventions. There is no invention here. No dark sensual body of life. This is the greatest of insults: the poet assuming his reader won't know any better.
Powerful Stuff.......2004-11-02
Ever since the very first time I heard a poem from this collection ("Barbed Wire" specifically), I have been wowed by the weight of darkness behind all these poems. There is a great deal of power in these words and the world it portrays is far from a happy one. However, there is a real momentum and energy to everything in this book.
And be warned, this collection is far from banal. From finding a dead body in a field while mowing tall grass to having a finger torn off while shoeing a horse, the poems in this book inhabit a very dark place. Much of this is tonally due to the fact the Taylor was an admitted alcoholic at the time of creation of most of these poems. His subsequent work is produced largely after his sobriety and a turn for the better in his personal life.
Also, the previous reviewer might do well to note that the presence of "Airing Linen" almost cost Taylor the Pulitzer. This is largely a work of form-free emotion, artistically descended from James Dickey, and should not be expected to sing like a nursery rhyme, rather to quote "Barbed Wire" it "hums like a bowstring in the splintered air"
great book of poems.......2003-01-26
I loved every single one of the poems in this remarkable collection; it's no surprise why Henry Taylor won the Pulitzer. One reviewer made the comment that Taylor's work isn't Pulitzer material because it doesn't rhyme or something . . . That's truly misguided. Most of the poets who try to rhyme in this day and age really [bad at it] at it. I mean, that's putting it mildly. If you are a poet, or want to be a poet, my advice is: whatever you do, don't rhyme! Taylor is a great poet, and it's too bad he isn't discussed more.
A great book!.......1998-12-13
This book reveals that poetry can be both accessible and compeling. Taylor combines a conversational style with traditional poetic forms to create a contemporary style that is a true descendent of the work of Robert Frost and E.A. Robinson. Be sure and read "Landscape with Tractor", "Taking to the Woods", & "At the Swings." I highly recommend this book. And, if you haven't read poetry in years and have found the thought of it daunting, try this book as a great reintroduction, or introduction for that matter, to what poetry can offer.
doesn't animate.......1998-01-10
I first read "The Flying Change" about five years ago and enjoyed it. Then I went back to school and got my master's in literature and reread Taylor's book and all my old enthusiasm was gone. This was not Pulitzer material. On the other hand, given the abominable state of today's poetry, maybe it was. I've given this book a "3" only because there were a few rhymed pieces in it, which were marginally better than the others, although the subject matter is universally banal throughout.

Equine Theology.......2006-02-26
Equine Theology:
A Review of Flying Changes: Horses as Spiritual Teachers by Carter Heyward (with photography by Beverly Hall). Cleveland, Ohio: The Pilgrim Press, 2005.
Based on her experiences at Free Rein Center for Therapeutic Riding and Education in Brevard, North Carolina, Episcopal priest Carter Heyward asserts that people who are receptive and patient can gain spiritual insights from working with horses. In seven chapters, each named for a lesson, this well-known liberation theologian illustrates how equestrians learn to follow their life's passion, to respect and embrace otherness, to overcome fear, to achieve balance, to reflect the beauty within, to practice living in patience, and to enjoy whimsy. The title Flying Changes refers to a horseback-riding maneuver that Heyward sees as symbolic of spiritual transformation; furthermore, she believes that people who work with horses may undergo this kind of change if they allow horses to teach them.
More traditional theologians need not be put off by Heyward's thesis that
". . .God did not, and does not, come to us primarily, much less only, in human form - not simply in Jesus once upon a time and not merely in any of us or our peoples, cultures, and struggles today." For, Heyward goes on to explain, "Indeed my faith is in a God that came in Jesus just as God comes all the time in and through our lives, our prayers, and our efforts to build right relation, which is just and compassionate. Right relation, justice, and compassion are the ways of God." (p. 13) In other words, God is still revealing Godself in and through creation.
During the course of this slim, 128-page volume, the reader gets to know such creatures as Whisper, who was rescued from a man who had been starving her; Big Red, who posed a challenge to any would-be riders; Feather, the filly who was born of Big Red and a Connemara pony; and Patience, who rebelled after being ridden by rowdy children at a summer camp. In addition to the equine characters, several interesting horsewomen are also included, most notably Linda Levy, who eschews the overused title "horse whisperer" despite her many accomplishments.
Just as readers have been able to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance without ever owning or riding a motorcycle, readers will be able to relate to Heyward's premise of learning spiritual lessons through nature without ever having owned a horse. However, once having concluded this book, the reader may be tempted to find a pasture with a horse and take a lesson or two.

Book Description
Feng Shui is the path of life!
The following metaphor may help illustrate the point: A Mercedes Benz driver takes a ride on a bumpy road and a Nissan Sunny driver drives along a smooth highway. Which driver would find the journey most enjoyable? You might surmise that the Nissan driver would enjoy the smooth road more. Yet, the answer could be both, because the discomfort of the bumpy road could be offset by the comfort provided by the luxurious Mercedes. Nonetheless, at the end of the journey, the Mercedes will remain as a Mercedes and the Nissan will still be a Nissan.
One sure thing is that correctly applying Feng Shui principles to your life makes your path easier or smoother. We will get to our destination much sooner and with less distraction or deviance from our life path. Moreover, the Yin and Yang theories remind us that change is constant and it is thus worthwhile to keep that in mind as we pursue our daily life activities.
The Power of Feng Shui!
It is viewed as environmental studies that harness the best possible 'kind' energies and avoid the 'unkind' energies at the right time, at the right place for the right person. It is propelling one to succeed by never giving up on inner universe, combines with hard work and determination toward excellence is the best way to succeed. This book explores the power of universe not as something you do, but as energy that you are part of it.
Feng Shui is not miracle but Feng Shui does create miracle! Something to ponder in such a paradoxical view.

Far from the comforts and stresses of "civilization".......2002-01-09
In 1969, Barney Sabo decided to resign from his position as a secondary school principal and move to a remote part of Alaska with his wife and reside in a wilderness hunting/fishing lodge almost 200 miles outside of Anchorage. Alaska's Evergreen Lodge On Beautiful Lake Louise is the biographical story of how the move was made, the life style changes that ensued, the challenges and adventures experienced so deep into nature's wilderness and far from the comforts and stresses of "civilization". Alaska's Evergreen Lodge is highly recommended reading for anyone who has ever dreamed of chucking it all and going "back to nature" to enjoy a simpler life.

Colours fit for a pachyderm lover.......2000-06-11
When I picked this book from the shelf I was immediately entranced by the extraordinary illustration of an elephant named Elmer. It wasn't so much that I thought my daughter would enjoy the read, I knew I would. Elmer is a character that I'd never encountered before, but the idea of a patchwork elephant struck me as simple but brilliant. Anyway, last Wednesday evening my daughter became the testing ground for this work. She was delighted the moment the book was opened. On the first page we see our patchwork elephant against the backdrop of rainbow colours. And what is he thinking? You can tell from the gorgeous red hearts which represent his thoughts that he is truly in love with colour. His colourful and amusing journeys, which would delight any child, include seeing a snowman, balancing fruit on his trunk and eating a popsicle at the beach. This book can be enjoyed by a very young child with the attention getting colours and shapes and by the same child when they later reach the reading stage. Having read Elmer's Colours I've now determined to track down the other titles in the series.

Gertrude Jekyll's Colour Schemes.......2002-07-31
As an Engish Gardener "displaced in Kansas" this book was a delight. Anyone who wants to plan a garden large or small should turn to this little gem written over 80 years ago. Miss Jekyll was the definitive garden planner, her ideas of colours and seasonal planting will inspire you to create a beautiful garden of your own. Quite the best of her kind.
Book Description
A spa-goer resorts to murder.
Even down in New Zealand, war-fueled spy fever is running wild. Near the decaying sulphur springs of Colonel and Mrs. Claire, the strange lights and signals being sent to foreign ships at sea mean there's a spy in their midst. Soon an even darker sign appears-a health-seeker with untoward intentions meets his demise in the mud baths. And when meets his demise in the mud baths. And when a new arrival appears, one who possesses the cunning of a criminal and the insight of a psychologist, can Scotland Yard's Inspector Roderick Alleyn be far behind?
Customer Reviews:
File this under Marsh's best.......2006-03-07
I've come back to this gem at least four times -- though another reviewer says explicitly that he would not be back.
My reasons for returning?
First, the land. New Zealand is a character here, and it's delineated by Marsh with the kinds of detail that made travelogues interesting, back before television showed us everywhere all at once. The light, the flora, the geology... it's all like a Turner watercolor, fascinating light plays and landscapes, where the weather and warmth is pervasive.
Second, there is the humor. There are fascinating caricatures of the British 'high-toned' expatriate family in straightened means, the self-centered movie star of the 1940s, the Callow Youth (all provincial slang, worn like a flashy shirt), the Crass Businessman. Seeing much of the interplay through Dikon's down-to-earth eyes -- acting as the chorus of the play, observing and summarizing -- makes it even funnier.
The land between the Maoris and the Claires is one that you'll remember. It's as sinister as Conan Doyle's moor in Hound of the Baskervilles and equally bathed in wrenching sights and sounds.
And everything moves in and out of surrealism: a real train bears down on a fantastic landscape, Gaunt's posturing suddenly gives way to a moment of genuine generosity (or is it?), walkers fearfully pick their way along paths through dangerous hot springs... It's fun to see Barbara emerge as enticing despite her continuous mugging and 'attitudes'... doubtless derived from the kinds of movies that Gaunt makes...
A final thought: while Colour Scheme is among Marsh's best, it probably is not the best choice for a first sampling of Roderick Alleyn at work. Light Thickens would be my candidate for that -- among the last of Marsh's mysteries, it beautifully melds human motivations and actions with the theater (and within that, one of theater's most theatric of plays, Macbeth).
But, as a kind of side-note into Alleyn's life, and a commentary on World War II in the South Pacific, and a grouping of often hilarious caricatures, Colour Scheme is a worthy read.
Marsh Writing Near the Height of Her Powers.......2005-01-01
Set during World War II, the 1942 COLOUR SCHEME concerns a noted stage star, Geoffrey Gaunt, who finds himself afflicted with "fibrosistis." Electing to soak himself in the sulfurous mud baths at Wai-ata-tapu, Gaunt finds himself at an isolated and very ramshackle guest house incompetently run by the well-meaning but exceedingly provincial Claire family, who are beset by the singularly unpleasant Maurice Questing.
Questing has an unknown hold over the family--and an incredibly boorish manner to boot--but does he have anything to do with the flashing lights seen on the hillside inside the native Maori preserve? Lights that may signaled to enemy agents watching, and sinking, military ships? Certainly various members of the Claire family believe so. The speculation is enough to attract the interest of Inspector Alleyn, on wartime duty from his native England. And when murder at last rears its ugly head it proves unexpectedly horrific.
COLOUR SCHEME finds Marsh writing at full power, and it is a memorable melange of beautifully rendered characters, atmospheric setting, and intricate plot. In spite of this, however, I find it among my least favorite of her novels--for the characters are among the least likable she ever created, ranging from the downright disgusting to the tiresomely egotistical to the merely stupid. While this should not detract from a first-time reader's enjoyment, it certainly doesn't make this a novel that you will likely care to revisit--and as such I give it four instead of five stars.

A World War II Spy Story.......2004-10-21
Knowing that Ngaio Marsh lived in New Zealand, it made sense that she would situate one of her mysteries in her beloved adopted country. In this book Inspector Alleyn is in New Zealand during World War II to do a bit of "spy busting". As in all her books, this one has a flawlessly written plot with a very tight story line. In the keeping of a "spy story", Ms. Marsh's Alleyn does not appear as himself. He appears in the story in a very clever disguise, and the reader will have the fun of figuring out who he is. It took me a little while. What Alleyn has come to the spa to investigate is the death of one of the people who had an interest in the spa. We meet some very unique characters in this book. The Colonel's family is quite wonderful actually.Ms. Marsh can tell a tale!
Technically flawless and a "must" for all Nagio Marsh fans.......2001-03-06
Nagio Marsh's Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn is one of the most popular detectives of the mystery genre. Colour Scheme found him far from home on a wartime quest for German agents and called upon to investigate the death of Maurice Questing, who was lured to his doom in a pool of boiling mud. This technically flawless, unabridged, seven cassette audiobook production is superbly narrated by Nadia May and a "must" for all Nagio Marsh fans.
