A true account of living with impaired hearing, 'The Grey Matter' is written by the bright, energetic, horse-loving 'Anomaly' whose disability has in no way prevented her from living life to the full. She faces up to life's difficulties with no small amount of humour, and recounts it here in unique detail. In straightforward, honest and somewhat satirical manner, The Anomaly gives us a glimpse into her innermost thoughts and feelings as she recounts with ready wit some of the situations in which she has found herself. Her relationship with her horse is a deep and loving one, and the people she meets are vividly portrayed as she brings them to life on the pages in a colourful and authentic manner. Well written and compiled, she turns everyday incidents into light-hearted entertainment for the reader, while maintaining an undertone of serious truth. This combination of horsemanship, philosophy and humour paints a realistic picture of life when one is an 'Anomaly', proving that with the right attitude courage will always win over adversity. Of great appeal to anyone who picks it up, The Grey Matter is a hugely worthwhile read; not only entertaining and enthusiastic, but also a book from which we all can learn. Blink...
