In 1757, when Thomas Rose meets Ling, she's looking for her beloved horse Belladonna. Painter/anatomist George Stubbs hires Thomas and recommends Ling for a position at the great house where Belladonna was sold. Finn conveys the era and the extraordinary nature of her protagonists through compelling, intricately configured prose.
