loads of fun; hard to put down.' STEPHEN KING The Great Depression,
1929. When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and utterly adrift,

and misfits in the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth:
a second-rate travelling circus struggling to survive by making
one-night stands in town after endless town. Jacob, a veterinary

for the circus menagerie. He meets Marlena, the beautiful young

wonderful sense of time and place, Water for Elephants tells a
story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds,
in a world in which love is a luxury few can afford.

In 1932 a recently orphaned boy jumps onto a passing train and enters a world of freaks and misfits in the US circus world.
In a home for the aged, Jacob, now an old man, relives his wonderful life in this world and the unforgettable love affair he finds there.
In the right hands watch the movie of the book, when it is made, make the Oscar carpet.
