Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author Geraldine Brooks joins Zibby to discuss her latest novel Horse, an Amazon Best Book of the Year. Geraldine shares the inspiration behind the book (it involves a new mid-life hobby and a horse skeleton), the fears she had writing outside her own racial identity, and how the sudden death of her husband Tony altered the trajectory of her story. Zibby reads the beautiful afterword that was dedicated to Tony, and the two discuss how they have used writing as a lifeboat during moments of profound grief.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: bit.ly/3TFaLGWBookshop: bit.ly/3TEzzPjSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
