What to expect
Alice Hoffman, the bestselling author of such beloved novels as Practical Magic and Seventh Heaven, has written a powerful story of love that shows why she has been called a "born storyteller" (Entertainment Weekly).
When Teresa was a little girl, she dreamed of dark-eyed, fearless heroes on white horses who would sweep her away. But now, as the grown-up Teresa negotiates life and love, she begins to understand that fairy tales don't always come true.

“Hoffman’s writing has never been so lyrical.”
Philadelphia Inquirer
-
“White Horses will reverberate in reader’s imaginations for a long time.”
San Francisco Chronicle
-
“A stunning mix of folk myth and starved contemporary lives—as Hoffman again displays a unique ability to dignify a certain brand of obsession (Billy the Kid in a Camero—made believable) and to dramatize the awakening of a slumbering consciousness.”
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
-
“Sexually charged…almost hypnotic.”
Publishers Weekly
-
“Memorable…striking in its emotional implications.”
