Description
Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, Water for Elephants is a heart-wrenching tale of love, survival and the unbreakable bonds between humans and animals.
Orphaned and penniless, Jacob Janowski finds himself on a rickety train that becomes his only hope for salvation. As he takes charge of caring for the circus menagerie, he meets Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star, and Rosie, an untrainable elephant who holds the key to their survival.
The story of Jacob's journey is one of love, trust and ultimate hope in a world torn apart by hardship and despair. With its vivid characters and poignant prose, Water for Elephants is a powerful and moving novel that will stay with you long after the final page has been turned.
