This book, this book.. I am 40 pages from the end of its 544 pages, and I do not want it to end. It is about horses, but not a horse book. It is about slavery, but also about all of our enslavement. And it's also about racism, a slyer, self-satisfied, more cynical slavery. The language is beautiful, raw, poetic and alive. The interracial relationship rings harrowingly true. The possibility for transformation in old age also rings true. The author has so much intellectual energy and brilliance that she has packed the book with about 100 pages of her associative cortex's connections that don't assist the plot. You have to just work through it. It has value. Read this book, it is beautiful.
