Fifteen-year-old Lee has just been expelled from boarding school. Unwilling to go home to her abusive father, she escapes to the horse-show circuit and begins an affair with a beautiful but dangerous rider named Tory Markham.
Through Tory, she becomes involved with a disreputable team of brother and sister trainers: Carl, notorious for his ruthless training methods, and Linda, who keeps the stable - both the horses and the riders - doped on narcotics.
Lee's descent into a web of violent sex and heroin addiction is depicted with hellishly vivid precision.
First published in 1995, 'House Rules' established Heather Lewis' reputation as a gifted and uncompromising writer.
