Winged Helmet White Horse

Following the success of Karyn Hay's historical fiction novel, The March of the Foxgloves, Karyn returns with Winged Helmet, White Horse more reminiscent in style of her debut, Emerald Budgies.

Set in contemporary London, Winged Helmet, White Horse is a darkly comic psychological drama. Tim has mastered the art of subordination; to his job, his wife, and even his daughter. Having written one critically acclaimed book of poetry he is struggling to write a second, while his wife, Natasha, who is into positive affirmations, and spending money, has plans of her own.

As Tim stumbles through the social landscape of suburban London, trying to give up alcohol and gain some control over his life, he makes several disturbing discoveries; ultimately concluding that he is not in control of anything, and that its all been a terrible, deadly illusion.
