Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen



One of the best books I've read this year.
An engrossing tale of a Depression-era traveling circus full of performers, workers, and animals with distinct personalities. Secrets, adventures, and humor. Very satisfying.

I have been thinking about reading this for so long. I'm adding it to my too long list!

Elaine, I'm so glad you liked this book. I was hesitant to recommend it because of the animal cruelty and I know how you hate "squalor." But it is a great, satisfying read.
