We just finished - our next audio book, in the car, War Horse by Michael Morpurgo.
It is a great story, written from the horse's viewpoint, about the war and devotion. We had the book along with us in the car. We own the movie, so we are planning to watch it in the near future and do a comparison.
Here's the official synopsis.
A powerful tale of war, redemption, and a hero's journey!
In 1914, Joey, a beautiful bay-red foal with a distinctive cross on his nose, is sold to the army and thrust into the midst of the war on the Western Front. With his officer, he charges toward the enemy, witnessing the horror of the battles in France. But even in the desolation of the trenches, Joey's courage touches the soldiers around him and he is able to find warmth and hope. But his heart aches for Albert, the farmer's son he left behind. Will he ever see his true master again?
