Wooden Horse
by Hugh Walpole
'Wooden Horse' Summary
In Hugh Walpole's captivating novel, "The Wooden Horse," we meet the Trojan family, who reside in an isolated Cornish manor. Content in their belief that they are the center of the world, their lives are turned upside down by the arrival of Harry Trojan. After spending two decades in New Zealand, Harry returns home imbued with democratic ideals and a fresh perspective. His presence ignites a clash of values within the family, forcing them to confront their prejudices and embrace a more humane existence. Walpole's vivid prose transports readers to the windswept Cornish coast, where the sea, cliffs, and weather play a pivotal role in shaping the characters' lives. "The Wooden Horse" is a poignant exploration of family, identity, and the transformative power of change.Book Details
