Description
Prize-winning author Geraldine Brooks gives us another dazzling work inspired by forgotten history. She once again weaves past (1850s Kentucky and Louisiana, 1950s New York) with the present (2019 Washington DC). The past includes the lives of a racehorse Lexington, his owner Richard Ten Broeck, his enslaved groom Jarret, the itinerant painter Thomas Scott, and the Abstract Expressionist art dealer Martha Jackson. With interracial interactions then and an interracial relationship now, the book is about racehorses and race in America.
