He wrote The Horse Whisperer. This novel isn't about horses but rather about a cowboy loving kid.Tommy loved his sister Diane almost as much as his cowboy TV shows, his escape from his difficult life. When she showed up at his boarding school with her new boyfriend, Flint McCullough, he was amazed. That was his cowboy hero! And when they moved him to California to live with them, he was living his dream.Until he found out about the family secret.This is a complex novel with intriguing characters, interesting background and setting, and a deep theme. The viewpoint changes from Tommy as a teen, a younger child and as an adult. So the astounding ending is hinted at but not revealed until the bitter end. ### ⭐⭐⭐ A good book, but Evans has done much better *by T***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2013* After re-reading the Horse Whisperer, which I think is an excellent novel on many levels, I decided to read another of Evans' books. I was particularly impressed with how Evans peopled the Horse Whisperer with flesh-and-blood characters, many of which with fully developed character arcs of their own. It also had many subplots that nicely built the theme of the book without making it complicated or difficult to follow. While I enjoyed the Brave, it failed to engage me like the Horse Whisperer did. This is partly because of the glamorous Hollywood setting which gives it a slight tint of soap opera, but mostly because the characters come across as less developed than in the Whisperer. One reason might be Evans' creative idea of having the story evolve simultaneously in different times. Interesting as this method may be, it results in there being no clear feeling of the story going in a particular direction. I suppose you could say that we are experiencing the "before" and "after" of the story in parallel. On the one hand I think this is a good book in many ways. Others may not feel the same way about the setting as I, so I am partly reluctant to give it as little as three stars. But on the other hand I personally feel that this was a less engaging book than many that I have given four stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A different Evans *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2010* I have read all of Nicholas Evans' books and thought the cover of this book glorious but misleading.I am not sure if it is because I am new to reading a Kindle, (which I love by the way), but I had difficulty keeping on track with the story.The start of the story has Tom, aged thirteen, farewelling his mother who is about to go to the gas chamber. The story then moves backwards and forwards between Tom's childhood with his mother and the present. Tom is estranged from his ex-wife and son who is a soldier. The son is being charged with a war crime in Iraq.Nick Evans is very good at painting beautiful backgrounds with words. Set in England, Hollywood and mid west America the story unfolds in a clever way that had me not stopping until I had finished it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/404803547-the-brave](https://www.desertcart.at/products/404803547-the-brave) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
