Step right up! Don’t be shy! Take a chance on Sara Gruen’s extravagant historical romance novel, Water for Elephants. In this novel, readers get a chance to travel back to the nation’s tragic era of post-depression as Gruen transforms the atmosphere into a thrilling love story within The Benzini Brother’s Most Spectacular Show on Earth. You would think every romantic story imaginable has been told, but Gruen proved us wrong adding another story to the collection of romance novels. The young author adds her own special character into her books creating a surprising new perspective through the eyes of another creature – an elephant.
Water for Elephants switches between the current life of Jacob Jankowski and his life as a young circus member.
