Sam Butler thinks his life should be about pastern dermatitis, least common denominators and the sophomore pole vaulter from Slovenia. But it isn't. Sam is a retired widower, who lives a quiet, well-ordered life looking after a small herd of off-the-track Thoroughbreds. Ellen Quincy is a home-schooled 'tweener, whose family raises chickens on the other side of the highway. Lynda Stratford is a young physics professor from the nearby university. This odd and non-romantic triangle forms in the fall of 2012, and the story follows the three of them for the next six months, a half-year in which Sam's life is turned inside-out, profoundly and perhaps forever changed. It's a story about love and friendship, about loyalty and its breach, about what's lost and what's found. A story about horses, lasers, and a young girl, wondering about life, death and what follows.

By Tom Robert Laurence has written another gem.The Math Tutor doesn't have too much to do with math but that's not to say there are no complex problems within its pages. The title character is Sam Butler, a widower; retired law professor; keeper of retired race horses; and volunteer math tutor for a young, home schooled, Christian girl who lives across the road in the Ozark mountain area of Arkansas near Fayetteville.In his earlier novel, Departure Lounge, Mr Laurence had strong female characters. The same is true in The Math Tutor as the author explores the relationships among Sam and the memory of his deceased wife; the young girl whom he tutors; an aggressivephysics professor at the University of Arkansas; the young girl's grandmother; and the several thoroughbred mares for whom he cares.Woven in that framework are life conflicts of a retired, widowed professor living among very conservative Christians not far from the more liberal academic community in which he once served. Having one foot in each of those environs brings to light the inevitable town-gown conflicts, issues of academic ethics, and religious tolerance and lack thereof. In the end the most religiously tolerant of the characters suffers the most.Readers of Departure Lounge will remember that the author has a wide variety of interests. Once again, evidence of many of them are sprinkled throughout the book. You'll learn a little about Wallace Spearman, Jr., Dan Gurney, P. G. Wodehouse college track and field and lots about horses. Know what a horse's chestnut is? If you do, you'll like the book. If you don't you will learn something.

By Sue P This is the second book I have read by this author, enjoyed them both, found them to be different, I think this author is knowledgeable about many subjects. The Math Tutor has many layers, could be a good discussion group book. A main character is a young girl, very different from the "musty, old" author but he captured her well. Other characters were also well written, one was a.......(a conundrum to me), she would be fun to discuss. If this author is working on another story to tell, I would look forward to the read.

Robert Laurence's latest novel is a love song to horses By Ona Russell On one level, Robert Laurence's latest novel is a love song to horses, particularly retired Thoroughbreds. But it is also a complex and beautifully written story about how essential, albeit difficult, it is to seek out meaningful human connections.
