Tuesday Night Book Club: Horse

Join us for a discussion of Geraldine Brooks’ 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. Copies are available at the front desk. New members are welcome!
