Everything you need to understand or teach Horse by Geraldine Brooks.
In her novel Horse, Geraldine Brooks explores the impact of a single famous racehorse across much of American history. She details the life of an enslaved young man in mid-19th century Kentucky, the adventures of an art collector in 1950s New York, and the burgeoning romance between a Nigerian American art historian and an Australian osteologist in present-day Georgetown. Over the course of the narrative, Brooks grapples with weighty themes of race, history, and the power of art.
