A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, Geradine Brooks braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American history. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism. From a a Pulitzer Prize winning author.
