Description and Reviews
His life wasn't always like this, however, because Jacob ran away and joined the circus when he was twenty-one. Water for Elephants is the story of Jacob's life with this circus. She has all the right vocabulary: grifters, roustabouts, workers, cooch tent, rubes, First of May, what the band plays when there's trouble, Jamaican ginger paralysis, life on a circus train, set-up and take-down, being run out of town by the “revenooers” or the cops, and losing all your hooch. There is one glorious passage about Marlena and Rosie, the bull elephant, that truly evokes the magic a circus can create. summarized from Amazon.com [reviews|asin=]Subject
