Monday Morning Book Club: Horse

Join us for a discussion of Geraldine Brooks’s Horse. The novel follows the story of an enslaved groom and a racehorse named Lexington, whose bond leads to record-breaking victories across the South. Spanning from the Civil War to 1950s New York and 2019 Washington, DC, the novel intertwines the lives of an artist, a gallery owner, and scientists uncovering the horse’s hidden history. Based on the true story of Lexington, it explores art, science, obsession, and the ongoing reckoning with racism.
