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. New York City, 1954. A gallery owner becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington, DC, 2019. A Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse. 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.
