Horse by Geraldine Brooks
Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.

didn't finish in time for book club and wasn't enjoying enough to keep going. it's definitely very well-written but as of 100 pages in was still sort of lacking conflict for all but one of the characters, which makes it easy to put down and not pick back up

The description on storygraph is just sort of not accurate. Or at least the tone certainly isn't. The book itself has absolutely no description on it of what it's about and I think going in blind like that is how the book is meant to be read.
