The Horseman is the first book in the West Country Trilogy. The story takes place in Somerset in 1911 when the war is building across Europe. The area of Somerset remains untouched by all of that though. The Sercombe family works on Lord Prideaux’s estate. Albert, the father, is the farmer while his son Sid is the underkeeper to the head game keeper. Sid’s son grows up here and Leo is a talented rider. He grows up with Charlotte, Lord Prideaux’s daughter, who is a girl that shoots and rides as well as any boy. This is a powerful novel about the story of family and their love for farming and the horses.
One of Pears’ most popular novels is Landed. This is the story of a family recovering from a tragic loss. Owen is a father who ends up in a terrible car accident that sees him lose his daughter and his hand. This sends Owen spiraling and has him legally separated from his family as he is haunted by suicidal thoughts. Owen then makes the decision to return to the natural world and abducts his children to return to the Welsh borders of his childhood.
