ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Horse by Geraldine Brooks tells a compelling story that spans centuries. The narrative intertwines the tale of Lexington, a celebrated nineteenth-century racehorse, and Jarret, the young enslaved groom who forms a deep bond with him. In the contemporary timeline, a Smithsonian scientist, Jess, and an art historian, Theo, become connected through the horse's skeleton and a mysterious painting. Their journey uncovers the remarkable history of Lexington and sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of Black horsemen in American racing history. The novel explores themes of race, art, and the enduring legacy of the past.
