Horse is an extraordinary novel of race, war and idealism. It is set partly in pre-Civil War Kentucky, partly in the New York of the 1950s. The story of Lexington, the fastest horse in nineteenth-century America, his black groom, and the white abolitionist who painted him is counterpointed with that of the woman who went on to own the horse s famous painting. Martha Jackson is at the centre of post World War 2 s New York art scene, and the social and sexual turbulence of the 1950s. The collision of these two stories takes Geraldine Brooks s fans back to the brilliance of her Pulitzer-Prize winning March, and is her finest novel yet.
