In 1850s Kentucky, an enslaved groom named Jarret forges a close bond with a Thoroughbred foal named Lexington. In contemporary Washington, DC, Jess, a Smithsonian scientist, studies the skeleton of a racing stallion found in the archives, while an art historian searches for information on the Black horsemen pictured in a horse portrait of mysterious provenance. Based on the true story of one of America's greatest racehorses, this epically sweeping and suspensefully delivered novel jumps between time periods, disciplines, and unforgettable characters to explore themes of love, art, race, and redemption…and Pulitzer Prize-winner Geraldine Brooks pulls it all off flawlessly.
