Description

Horse: The Epic History of Our Noble Companion,' an enthralling narrative acclaimed by The New York Times Book Review for its exploration of race and art. TIME describes it as a poignant tale, unraveling humanity's facets amidst both the beautiful and the ugly. The book, honored with the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, weaves a spellbinding tale that resonates across generations, depicting the forgotten narratives of injustice and perseverance through a Pulitzer Prize winner's insightful lens.

Set against the backdrop of 1850s Kentucky, this gripping story follows an enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal whose bond leads to record-breaking victories amid the upheaval of the Civil War. Fast forward to 1954 New York City, where Martha Jackson, a visionary gallery owner, becomes consumed by a mysterious 19th-century equestrian oil painting found amidst the attic's clutter.

Jumping ahead to 2019 Washington, DC, the narrative converges on Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, united by their shared intrigue in the horse's legacy. Jess studies the stallion's bones, searching for clues to its power and endurance, while Theo uncovers the lost history of the unheralded Black horsemen integral to its racing triumphs.

Based on the astonishing true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, 'Horse' transcends genres, melding art, science, love, and obsession. It offers a profound exploration of our unfulfilled confrontation with racism, inviting readers into a riveting tale that mirrors both our past and our present. This novel is a testament to the enduring legacy of horses and the unspoken heroes woven into their history
