It's only when we slow down that we can truly experience joy ...

2035: In the shadow of a race-course, two sisters grow up, helping their mother at the local cafe that serves renowned ramen. Family life is fractious especially when one of them loses their day-job to an automaton.

What makes the sisters' hearts sing is their friendship with Today, a nationally famous racehorse. But after a lifetime of over-racing, Today is being sent to the knackers’ yard.

Urgently, the sisters plot to rescue their beloved horse. As their plan unfolds, one of them will commit the bravest act of their life.

Narrated by a most unusual and unforgettable storyteller, A Thousand Blues is a healing hymn to the Earth, to animals, to our humanity. Brimming with heart, hope and rage, it is a book to cherish, share and re-read.
