Just Finished

reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. It was a really good book about a traveling circus in the early 1930's. The story is told by Jacob who is in his early 90's and living out his life in a nursing home. His recollections of his times in the circus are what make the book fab but the descriptions of his life in the nursing home were depressing.

Thanks Mrs. Janice for leading me to this book. Do you have any other suggestions?
