Sociological Book Group @ The Jenks

This book club at The Jenks, in partnership with the Winchester Public Library, brings a sociological and anthropological lens to the discussion of books. We will discuss Horse by Geraldine Brooks at this meeting.
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, who became America's greatest stud sire, Horse is a gripping, multi-layered reckoning with the legacy of enslavement and racism in America.
