Water for Elephants/Sara Gruen/335 pgs



The circus has come to town and Jacob Jankowski is remembering his past. During his final year in vet school, his parents die unexpectedly and he leaves school and joins the circus. While there he meets the love of his life. Marlena and a very special elephant, Rosie. The story takes place both in his memories of the circus and in the present - his loneliness of living alone in the nursing home, waiting for his family to come and take him to the circus. The book is great and I cannot wait to see the movie now.
