Thought this would be a great book to read during Triple Crown season, but the horses were just a very small backdrop. It's about the very strange and awful Forge family, the very sad and depressing Allmon Shaunghnessy, with racism and incest. I described this book to my family as the most beautifully written, awful book I've ever read. And although it has beautiful prose, it also has very foul and crude language. At times the prose is over done with long rambling paragraphs full of many words I was not familiar with. A very long, and slow moving story. Had to force myself to finish it. Can't recommend this one.
