Product Information

War Horse is now available on the National Theatre’s new streaming service National Theatre at Home. The iconic and multi-award-winning production of War Horse, based on the novel by Michael Morpugo, is available on demand for the first time since its premiere 13 years ago. War Horse is now available from Monday 21 December to Wednesday 20 January in the UK only. It is set in parallel - the history of a horse and his slave groomer in the 1850’s and a painting that has survived the century to the present day & how the piece was discovered discarded. There are many historical characters in this novel, but it is the characters brought to life by Brooks who drive the narrative and vie for your love and empathy. Characters who, although living in different centuries are bound together by the painting. Was a good story throughout mostly but then the author had to get preachy. I can only take so much beating over the head, before I lose interest. I am definitely in the minority on this one! This has to be the best book that I've disliked so much!

My favorite character in the 2019 sections is Catherine, the art expert from England. Since literally everything offends Theo, he resents her waxing enthusiastic about his impressive polo career at Oxford because it reminds him of some bullying he received.

Personally, I enjoyed the portions from the Civil War era better than the more preachy modern-day sections. The modern-day sections might just be too recent. We all just lived through these events; they are fresh in our mind. Perhaps this book will age well. Horse by Geraldine Brooks was a well written novel that spanned three different time lines. Geraldine Brooks masterfully wove together the distinct characters in each time period to tell the story of one of America’s most notorious thoroughbred racing horse, Lexington. She combined real characters with imagined ones in a way that absolutely worked. Horse was based on Lexington’s true story. His life spanned from 1850 to 1875 but his legacy continued to be celebrated even after he departed this world through the foals he sired. Lexington became known for his agility, speed, stamina and faithfulness. I listened to the audiobook of Horse that was read by multiple narrators. The multiple narrators allowed each character to be distinguished easily and made the audiobook enjoyable to listen to. Horse" is a pretty mediocre novel that I would normally give three stars. There is nothing in this book that stands out as particularly excellent except maybe the research that went into it. Characters are bland, the plot is predictable, pacing is slow and dull. There is nothing particularly offensive about it, but there is nothing all that amazing about it either. This book is far more of a horse book than it is about race issues.Before the Steven Spielberg film, before the National Theatre production, there was the classic children’s novel… I love the use of words and language. I looked up 66 new words while reading Horse. Some of those words included: semaphores, deshabillement, ziggurat, macerating, plinths, zygomatic, pannier, ferruled, addlepated, turves, obduracy, riven, rowel, doggerel, jussive, subfusc, and many others.
