The Riders is a one sided love story. Scully and his wife buy an old farmhouse that needs lots of tlc and repairs, with the intent on spending the rest of their lives together. Instead, Scully gets a shock when his wife disappears. Now he has a run down farmhouse and a young child without a wife and mother to complete the family. He doesn't believe that she left on her own, and he and the child set off to find her. The search takes the pair to various destinations throughout Europe, where they meet a variety of interesting people. The two hold onto each other, clinging to the hope that they will find their wife/mother and reunite as a family.

A mythlike story of a man in search of his lost wife. Very descriptive and poetically written. A haunting tale of relationships and people. I understand why this book was a Booker Prize finalist.
