Horse

Horse by Geraldine Brooks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don't suppose I would normally seek out a book about a horse, even if that horse were touted as being one of the greats of all time. But Geraldine Brooks does a great job of weaving very disparate characters that revolve around the horse in different eras, from its trainer to painters to museum archivists. She also explores the question of race relations throughout history in America. Brooks took a niche interest and mined it to tell a thought-provoking and intriguing story.
