Gruen, Sara - Water For Elephants (Paperback)

Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen transports readers to the gritty and mesmerizing world of a 1930s traveling circus. The narrative follows Jacob Jankowski, a young veterinary student who, after a personal tragedy, finds himself amidst the vibrant yet perilous life under the big top. As he cares for the circus's exotic animals, Jacob becomes entwined with Marlena, the enchanting equestrian star, and her volatile husband, August. The introduction of Rosie, an untrainable elephant, sets the stage for profound bonds and tumultuous events that challenge the characters' resilience and morality. Gruen's evocative storytelling paints a vivid picture of love, betrayal, and survival during the Great Depression.
