Frick, Marlene

About the author

Marlene Frick has written one horse book, as far as I know. I can find no biographical information about her, other than the fact that she wrote a book, Heureux Qui Comme Ulysse, which was turned into a film.

Finding the book
The book is very easy to find in both its printings, and is usuallly very reasonably priced.

Set in Provence and the Camargue, this is a story of an old man’s devotion to the horse he bought at a Camargue Horse Fair.  He struggles desperately to save the horse, now he is old, from an agonising death at the bull ring in Arles.
