We are excited to tell you about our latest signing. Broken Horses is a novel that is both epic and intensely personal, a story of female agency set in the remote colonial world of 1920s Southern Patagonia.

In the aftermath of the Great War, Georgie Carruthers breaks off her engagement with her wounded fiancé. Racked with guilt, she crosses the ocean to take up a post as the governess to a motherless boy in a household stuck in the colonial past and consumed by anger, secrets and sorrow.

In the background, rebellion by the estancia workers intensifies and the region’s landowners, in terror of a Russian-style revolution, plan brutal reprisals.
