About this listen
From one of Australia's best-selling and much-loved authors comes a sweeping, powerful story of a young woman who has to overcome loss and trauma to find the courage to live life on her terms.
"Treasure writes with true grit, wit and warmth." (Australian Women's Weekly)
"This isn't classic Rachael Treasure. This is even better. Treasure has produced a polished, heart-wrenching and hopeful novel that will thrill old fans and garner many new ones." (Better Reading)
Following the disappearance of her mother when she was just a young child, Drift has been raised by her father, growing up to work alongside him as an itinerant cattle drover along the beautiful coastline of remote Western Australia. It's a tough life, but nurtured and taught by two wise women—Wilma, a gentle travelling librarian, and straight-talking Charlie, the legendary mobile saddler—Drift grows up to become a confident young woman.
But the world Drift lives in can be confronting. After a frightening assault, Drift meets a handsome young stockman, but he is not all that he seems, and she is drawn into a baffling world of lies and mysteries, centering on a lushly beautiful property called The Planet. When she's suddenly left alone in the world, Drift has to find the courage to make her own way. Drawing upon the deep well of wisdom taught her by Charlie and Wilma, Drift has to overcome heartbreak, betrayal, loneliness, and pain in order to forge her path, own her truth, and create the kind of world that she wants to live in.
Full of authentic Australian heart and soul, warmth and humor, White Horses is another classic from the much-loved author of the iconic and best-selling novels Jillaroo and The Farmer's Wife, one that also offers an inspiring vision of a vibrant, thriving rural Australia based on Treasure's own experience and knowledge of regenerative agriculture.

Heartwarming & down to earth
An engaging story from Rachael Treasure. The style is again of down-to-earth rural Australia, but in a coastal setting for a change and with a strong message about the future of Australian farming.
The characters are relatable, but you have to endure their hardships, which can be a bit much at times.
The narration was clear, but a bit stilted.

wonderful story
This story is fantastic, the thrill of a magical fiction and the life enrichment of inspirational truth.
My only issue is the dead silence between sentences in the recording. I found it torturous and for the first time ever chose to speed up the play slightly to shorten the dead air.

Overwritten, boring
I went into this book with high hopes.
Sadly, the overblown prose and oddly paced narrator let it down. The sheer agonising slowness of the story also contributed. A very rare DNF for me.

Rubbish
Would have to be the worst Treasure book I’ve ever listened to, Racheal has gone from an advocate for the outback and the station way of life to being an advocate for the leftist Green Party , won’t be adding any more treasure books to my library

Couldn't enjoy it
Struggled to listen to it. Was so overally descriptive that you couldn't just enjoy it. Was definitely different to her other books. But I'm sorry I don't think I can keep going.
