It’s a technique that has served Brooks well she earned a Pulitzer Prize for March, which follows the fictional father in Little Women, based in part on the real-life Bronson Alcott. Lexington is one of several characters in the book-the rest of them human-based on real-life figures, as Horse is a product of careful research fleshed out with vivid imagination. But first and foremost, Horse is a thrilling story about humanity in all its ugliness and beauty. Yes, the title character is one of history’s most famous equine celebrities, a foal named Darley, who later became a pop culture phenomenon called Lexington-and was revered as the fastest horse in the world.
Don’t let the title fool you Geraldine Brooks’s Horse is not Black Beauty for grown-ups.
