The Brooks-Shelf: A Geraldine Brooks Book Discussion Group

Geraldine Brooks is coming to Glastonbury in September!  To celebrate, we will be discussing her incredible collection of works through a series of book discussions.  Limited copies of the current selection will be available at the Lending Desk. Registration is not required; light refreshments will be served.

This week we're reading: "Horse"

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.

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.
