Description
In this sweeping novel, Geraldine Brooks weaves together disparate lives across centuries, all connected by the enduring legacy of a legendary racehorse. From the antebellum South to the halls of the Smithsonian, the story follows an enslaved groom's profound bond with a champion stallion, an art historian uncovering forgotten Black jockeys, and a scientist studying the very bones of this magnificent creature. It is a powerful exploration of race, art, science, and the complex, often unacknowledged, contributions that shape our history.
