Dear NNE Readers:
We are meeting this week to discuss Horse.
Thursday, May 23 Horse, Geraldine Brooks
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.
