Yes, it’s a gorgeous holiday read, but that’s no seaside donkey. Friends, free spirits and mountain villages glinting in the sun: take a trip to the Pyrenees. Loveable donkeys included. Hope lives in the French mountains with her artist mum and Mum’s traveller boyfriend, Frank. Life is beautiful. But now Frank is moving on – leaving Harry, his donkey, behind. Hope knows his reasons. Yet Frank means so much to them all. By caring for Harry, can she keep Frank close to her heart? OK: horses get all the glory. But this loyal donkey proves that true love comes in a shaggy and long-eared form.

Sarah Lean

Sarah Lean grew up in Wells, Somerset but now lives in Dorset with her husband, son and dog. She has worked as a page planner for a newspaper, a stencil-maker and a gardener, amongst various other things. She gained a first class English degree and became a primary school teacher before returning to complete an MA in Creative and Critical Writing with University of Winchester. A Dog Called Homeless was her first novel, and a brilliant success. She has followed that up with the equally beautiful stories A Horse for Angel and The Forever Whale.
