SUMMARY:Book Club| Horse
DESCRIPTION:• The Monthly Book Club is meeting on April 5th to discuss…
 \nHorse by Geraldine Brooks\n• Anyone is welcome to join! If you’re in
 terested\, please stop in at the library or give us a call to request a co
 py of the book.\n• Synopsis:\nA discarded painting in a junk pile\, a sk
 eleton in an attic\, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from 
 these strands\, a Pulitzer Prize winner braids a sweeping story of spirit\
 , obsession\, and injustice across American history.\nKentucky\, 1850. Jar
 rett\, an enslaved groom\, and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding th
 at will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. As t
 he nation erupts in civil war\, an itinerant young artist who has made his
  name painting the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous ni
 ght\, he reunites with the stallion and his groom\, very far from the glam
 or of any racetrack.\nNew York City\, 1954. Martha Jackson\, a gallery own
 er celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters\, becomes obs
 essed with a 19th equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance.\nWashi
 ngton\, DC\, 2019. Jess\, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia\, and The
 o\, a Nigerian-American art historian\, find themselves unexpectedly drawn
  to one another through their shared interest in the horse - one studying 
 the stallion's bones for clues to his power and endurance\, the other unco
 vering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to 
 his racing success.\nBased on the remarkable true story of the record-brea
 king thoroughbred\, Lexington\, who became America's greatest stud sire\, 
 Horse is a gripping\, multi-layered reckoning with the legacy of enslaveme
 nt and racism in America.\n[Description provided by publisher.]
