White Horse is a fun time, the bar and the book.  Family trauma is real. Then add in culture and it becomes a mess.  The grandad’s reasoning for doing what he did, then it’s supposed to be all OK because he quit drinking pissed me off so much.  And Jack, please.  Men suck at times. While this book seemed to lack emotion at times, it was rich in folklore, history, and lives having been lived full of all that entails. Glad I read it.
