Description
Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, Water for Elephants tells a story of love and survival in a world of freaks and misfits.
In 1929, Jacob Jankowski jumps onto a passing train, entering a world of circus performers struggling to survive. As a veterinary student turned circus caretaker, he finds himself at the centre of a complex web of relationships and desires. With the help of Rosie, an untrainable elephant, Jacob discovers a way to connect with her and uncover the secrets of the Benzini Brothers' Most Spectacular Show.
This beautifully evocative novel explores the power of love in a world where it is a luxury few can afford. With its vivid sense of time and place, Water for Elephants is a captivating tale of human connection and resilience.
