Water for Elepahants, Sara Gruen
First Line: “Only three people were left under the red and white awning of the grease joint: Grady, me, and the fry cook.”
Join the circus courtesy of Gruen, who manages to capture the majesty, mystery and madness of circus life gone by big-topped with an unlikely love affair. Brilliantly executed.
For: The circus freak and hopeless romantic in all of us. –Malena Lott
