Oyuna tells her granddaughter the story of how love for her horse enabled her to win a race and bring good luck to her family in Mongolia in 1285. An exciting historical adventure, with no war or rape, about a 12 year-old girl with more courage and heart than any warrior on a quest. I, personally, was a bit frustrated by all the reliance on superstition?/ faith?. But the theme that we can make our own luck is foreshadowed throughout and revealed directly at the end, so that's good. I think back on my childhood, and I would absolutely have loved this when I was 12. And I recommend it to anyone who looks for strong female characters, even adults, even if they don't think they're interested in the horse story or the Mongolian historical setting. Tragedy follows Oyuna as her foot is crushed by a horse when she is three and her mother is struck by lightning and killed Oyuna is about nine. Through luck, interesting circumstances, and her great relationship with animals, Oyuna learns to rise above her misfortunes. *This book has good examples of how another culture deals with death rituals. * nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
