highly recommended

As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the great Depression, and for Jacob, now ninety, the circus world he remembers was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an untrainable elephant who was the great gray hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and, ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.

Best book ever!!!

This is one of the best...if not the best...book I've ever read. When I'm 90+ and in a nursing home, drooling on myself, I want this book read to me over and over and over.

Fantastic

I am completely enamored with this book. Honestly, I couldn't put it down, and missed it when I had to. Just fantastic.

Good read

Loved this highly entertaining story. Very different from all the other rehashed story lines out there. Unique and wonderfully written.
