It has been almost a year since I finished a book and posted about it on my blog. I have had the same book on my kindle for that long. I retired so no longer commute which is when I listened to audio books. But some recent short car trips alone enabled me to complete and audio book. It was a really good one! Therefore I am able to share it with you.
Geraldine Brooks is one of my go to authors. I have read five of her six novels and will eventually read any book she writes. Horse is a historical novel and one of its themes is the racing industry in the United States during the time frame of just prior to the civil war. Another theme that weaves throughout the story is equine art. The book bounces between the 1850s, the 1950s and 2019. Science is part of the novel as skeletal reconstruction is touched on along with the issue of race related to police brutality in our current culture. This novel is timely and yet timeless. I really enjoyed listening to it and recommend that others read it too.
