“Brooks’ chronological and cross-disciplinary leaps are thrilling.”—The New York Times Book Review “Horse isn’t just an animal story—it’s a moving narrative about race and art.”—TIME “A thrilling story about humanity in all its ugliness and beauty . . . the evocative voices create a story so powerful, reading it feels like watching a neck-and-neck horse race, galloping to its conclusion—you just can’t look away.”—Oprah DailyWinner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton 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 Kentucky, 1850. An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack. New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse—one studying the stallion’s bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.

“Another of his sources of fearful pleasure was, to pass long winter evenings with the old Dutch wives, as they sat spinning by the fire, with a row of apples roasting and spluttering along the hearth, and listen to their marvelous tales of ghosts and goblins, and haunted fields, and haunted brooks, and haunted bridges, and haunted houses, and particularly of the headless horseman, or galloping Hessian of the Hollow, as they sometimes called him.” ― Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow The legend is not much of a folktale when it rides through the night terrorizing a town and all of its inhabitants. This Sleepy Hollow-inspired tea is a warm cup flavored to sitting around a campfire roasting smores with scary stories being passed around.

\"Whoa, steady!\" Westlyn Brooke Hartwick pulled the reigns. Summer evening sunlight fell on her barren shoulders that were draped in silken chestnut hair. Her heart danced and her stomach churned. \"Almost there, boy.\" She breathed the words, almost afraid to say them too loud in case it would alter them coming to pass. She hadn't seen Jesse in 2 years. Not since he left for Missouri to set a homestead there. She could still remember the way he would brush his rough hand across her face, his other hand encircling her waist and drawing her close, their bodies pressing...\"West!\"Oh how she knew that voice. She kicked Rustic into a gallop and emerged from the wood into the little clearing where her cabin stood. Jess & Westlyn have traveled many miles and many heartaches together, but can Westlyn's betrayal be forgiven? Can Jesse love her again? And can Westalyn learn that true love never really dies?
