Book Nook: 'Horse' by Geraldine Brooks

Cover of 'Horse' by Geraldine Brooks

Vick Mickunas interviews Geraldine Brooks about her latest novel, Horse.

Geraldine Brooks returned to the program for her fourth visit. The first time I interviewed her it was for her first novel Year of Wonders, when it came out in paperback 20 years ago. Geraldine never ceases to surprise me. Her novels are always deeply researched and thoroughly entertaining. Her latest one, Horse, taught me more than I could have ever imagined about horses.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public LibraryClark County Public LibraryDayton Metro Library, and Wright Memorial Public Library.
