@dkbarnett Thank you Delwyn. @julie Yes. So relaxing I fell asleep before I finished it. @grammyn Thanks Katy. It was quiet and kept dozing off. I thought I would be able to finish it before lights out for the night, but that didn't happen. No, I didn't make the bookmark and I can't remember where I got it, but it's bright green with red and white and black stripes. Sort of SW'ern style pattern. @onewing I do like a good book. This one was very hard to get into and still wasn't my favorite, but it did get to the point that I couldn't wait to finish it to see how it ended. (Not like I expected btw)
I@shutterbug49 It turned into decent read. Not really my genre and it took me over 100 pages to get into it. @bkbinthecity I do like a good book. I have to make time to read though. Too many other things I like to do. @jamibann Thanks so much Issi. @haskar Quiet evening. I kept dozing off. But peaceful. Thank you. @wakelys Not my genre, so I had a hard time getting into it. Jumps back and forth in time between our civil war era and pre-covid times with a few others mixed in. Lots of characters. Race is discussed throughout. But many of the characters including the horse are based on reality although the author stressed it is a fiction book. @pusspup Thanks you Wylie. @johnfalconer It got exciting a little over 100 pages from the end, but it took me more than 100 pages to get into it. I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads, but only because they don't offer 3.5 @craftymeg Thank you Meg. @illinilass Thanks Dorothy. I am not reading like I thought I would when thinking about retiring. Too many other things going on. But I promised myself I would read more and have friends feeding me books which are really piling up. @corinec Thank you Corinne. @mccarth1 Do it if you can. Lots of good ones out there. So if you don't like the one you pick up, there's another to take its place. I say "Too many books, too little time."
@kjarn this author is Australian do you recognize her? Have you read anything by her? @rensala thanks Renee. It does feel good to accomplish reading a book. I don’t do this as often as I’d like to. Other things in the way. @jacqbb The book was pretty good. I don’t care a lot about horses but it did have some interesting historical facts in it despite the fact it was fiction. apparently the horse in the book was a famous racehorse and stud horse. Many of his offspring have gone to be great race, horses in the United States, and perhaps elsewhere.
I thought it might be called horse so I looked it up and saw it was by Geraldine Brooks and about a racehorse in American history. I had no idea that Ms Brooks was Australian so I assumed I had the wrong book. I haven’t read anything by her
