Event Details
Discuss a diverse mix of popular fiction featuring a variety of authors. New members are always welcome! Copies of the book will be available one month prior to the discussion.
This month's book is Horse by Geraldine Brooks, a multi-timeline story centered on the 19th-century thoroughbred racehorse named Lexington. It intertwines the lives of an enslaved groom, a Union artist, a 1950s New York gallery owner, and a contemporary Smithsonian scientist and Nigerian American art historian who are all connected by the horse. Based on the remarkable true story of a record-breaking thoroughbred, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.
