Based on a remarkable true story, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Geraldine Brooks’ Horse tells the story of a record-breaking thoroughbred horse named Lexington — and the all-but-lost history of the Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Braiding threads across three centuries, Brooks weaves a sweeping tapestry of spirit, obsession and injustice through several generations of American history.
