(white) friends kept recommending Horse by #GeraldineBrooks so I put a hold & then listened to it on my library app. Part way through I suspected I was reading Black characters written by a white woman and this Atlantic review gets at some of the ways in which that sucks. Sadly the first set of reviews I googled in NYT, WaPo, and Atlantic are all also written by white women. #Bookstodon #BooksofMastodon

Finished the novel The Secret Chord (2015) by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Geraldine Brooks - The story of biblical King David told from the point of view of the prophet Nathan.

Certainly a page turner …
