From Pulitzer Prize-winning Australian author Geraldine Brooks, a sweeping story of spirit, obsession and injustice across American history. Kentucky, 1850: an enslaved groom named Jarret forges a bond with a bay foal that carries the horse to record-setting victories. During the Civil War, the horse and groom reunite with an artist far from any racetrack. In 2019, a Smithsonian scientist and an art historian find themselves connected through the stallion's bones and lost history. Based on the true story of the thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art, science, love and America's unfinished reckoning with racism.
