Stella Carlyle is a successful singer. Quirky, talented, abrasive, sexy, she has serial casual lovers until she falls in love with Robert - an equally successful eye surgeon. But Robert is married, and the strain of their long-standing affair is beginning to tell on both. American ex-fighter pilot Spencer McColl - 'overpaid, oversexed and over here' in World War II - had an affair with an English widow. But it was her daughter he really loved, and on a brief return visit to commemorate the war veterans, their one-night stand leads to a daughter - Stella - whom Spencer never knows. Harry Latimer, a captain in the Hussars, is posted to the Crimea and leaving behind the family home in Wiltshire, and an undeclared passion for his widowed sister-in-law. Their contrasting experiences - Harry amid the squalor and brutality of war, Rachel in the tranquil Wiltshire landscape - make a poignant third strand to the narrative.

De derde verhaallijn speelt in de negentiende eeuw en gaat over Harry Latimer en diens familie. Wanneer hij met de Engelse troepen moet dienen in de Krimoorlog, laat hij niet alleen zijn familie achter zich, maar ook een onuitgesproken passie voor zijn schoonzus Rachel.
In De Paardenheuvel volgen we de levens van Stella, Spencer en Harry, en worden we meegenomen naar het Wyoming van de jaren dertig, het negentiende-eeuwse aristocratische Engelse landleven en de verwarrende wereld van een jonge vrouw eind jaren negentig.
