Description
From the introduction
Somewhere on State Highway 6 – a two-lane road that runs the length of the West Coast – I noticed a man walking his horse on the grass beside the road, heading in the other direction. It had been a hot day, and it was now late in the afternoon. The man wore the kind of thick oilskin coat people sometimes wear in these parts to resist the rain, and in the clear light, sweat visibly gleamed on his forehead. I didn’t turn the car around immediately, but about a kilometre further down the road, I began wondering who the person was, and where he and his horse were going? What he was wearing said he wasn’t a recreational rider, but walking alone with his horse he wasn’t a farmer either.
