Water for Elephants by Sara GruenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
jacob Jankowski is a 90-years-old curmudgeon residing in a nursing home. The story begins in his memory with a disaster in a Benzini circus tent. The novel then tells the story of Jacob' life as a circus vet in that circus during the Great Depression, up to and including the fire. The circus lore is described in fascinating detail and the human-animal bond is beautiful to watch.
