katyreadsalot 's review for:
Horse
by Geraldine Brooks
This was a very well written book. It's obvious that the author put a ton of research and work into this book. I learned a lot about the history of horse racing, a topic that I have very little interest in. However, Geraldine Brooks wrote this in a way that had me feeling more interested than I expected.
There is a lot of information about racial tension/racism in this book as well. It was paralleled so well from the different perspectives and time periods. Basically, racism is still around even though "we have come so far". We really have not come that far!
This book kind of broke my heart. I would absolutely recommend this book to someone who is ready to do a deep dive into some heavy subjects. This is not a light read.
