Why read it?

1 author picked Ask for Horses as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I have kept track of my own dreams since the age of sixteen, writing them down each morning, and often illustrating them too. But Tina Tau has done far more. Her life has been, quite literally, guided by dreams.

Ask for Horses could be called a double memoir, a conversation between the worlds, visible and invisible. The writing is lucid and engaging, the plot (such as it is) both lively and unpredictable. Tina Tau herself emerges an unlikely heroine: generous, warmhearted, and intrepid.
