[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just finished Horse, by Geraldine Brooks. I spent the first half thinking I was enjoying it more than I expected to, but by the end I had soured a bit. I found the modern story re race to be a bit broadly drawn nor did I think the romance was especially persuasive. I did like the discussion of their professional lives and wish there had been more of that. The civil war era story was interesting, but the life of Jarrett, the enslaved groom, with a few fairly short lived exceptions seemed like a suspiciously pleasant life for an enslaved groom. And the 1950s era story re the art dealer seemed entirely tacked on. So, overall it was not uninteresting, but in the end it is not really a recommendation from me.[/quote] If you haven’t read “People of the Book,” you should. It’s a better version of Horse. [/quote]
