Description
The Mare by Mary Gaitskill This poignant novel tells the story of Velveteen Vargas, an eleven-year-old girl from Brooklyn who spends her summer with a host family in upstate New York. As she navigates this new and unfamiliar world, Velveteen forms a powerful bond with a horse at a local stable. Through the changing relationship between Velveteen and her hosts, Ginger and Paul, Gaitskill explores themes of identity, community, and social class. The Mare also delves into the transformative power of horses, weaving together two seemingly disparate worlds: the vibrant inner-city community that Velveteen calls home, and the privileged country world of her hosts. A raw and striking novel, The Mare is a powerful exploration of human connection and the complexities of relationships between people from different backgrounds.
