Horse by Geraldine Brooks. It is multigenerational and has several story lines going, but she does a good job of keeping things organized. There are so many threads--horse racing, history, art, science and culture in addition to the characters and their relationships that I am not reading at my normal speed. It takes some time to digest in between servings.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone and happy reading.
