Sometimes, when a dream becomes a reality, unimaginable heartbreak can follow, as Swedish veterinarian, Pia Nordfors, and American private investigator, Anna Jensen, discover. “Say Goodbye, Say Hello” is the tale of two strangers, half a world apart, who are brought together by their love of a magnificent and noble steed. It is told through an eight-year correspondence that takes the daring conceit of providing the horse point of view when San Siro, a dressage competitor with an aristocratic mien, and his cow-pony chum, BJ, join in. As the women’s friendship evolves, an intimate portrait of their lives unfolds: marriage, step-parenting, career, betrayal, divorce – all against the backdrop of their shared love of one horse. It is the messiness of life portrayed with wit, insight and pathos. Like the fat-bottomed dolls that get knocked down, only to bounce back up, they survive staggering losses with a tenacity that can only lead to triumph. The result is a narrative that is hilarious, unpredictable and moving.
