This book reflects the time of the Civil War and narrates three different eras regarding the famous racehorse named Lexington who ultimately sired many great racehorses up until the present time. The characters are well drawn and the story very engaging. The writer …more Geraldine Brooks has a way with words that makes historical fiction realistic and also entertaining. I enjoyed the book very much.(less)
