Horse by Geraldine Brooks

Geraldine Brooks makes history lyrical. She illuminates historical periods by creating living, breathing, flawed, heroic characters. In some of her books she adds a back and forth, time shifting approach to connect objects and stories across place and time. If you think that history is boring, she will change your mind.
