Okay, I am not giving anything away in the plot...but the beginning does grab the reader's interest. At the end of Chapter 1 there is some sort of secret being kept for a lifetime and it is dangled out there!  I am only on Chapter 3:-)

K,
Here is part of the synopsis from Publisher's Weekly:
With its spotlight on elephants, Gruen's romantic page-turner hinges on the human-animal bonds that drove her debut and its sequel (Riding Lessons and Flying Changes)—but without the mass appeal that horses hold. The novel, told in flashback by nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski, recounts the wild and wonderful period he spent with the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth, a traveling circus he joined during the Great Depression.

So Dave went to B&N to get the book and then when he got back in the car, it wouldn't start!!  So now he is stranded at B&N waiting for our friend (who is borrowing our other car) to go help him!!  CRAZY!!!

Just picked up the book this evening from Books a Million - Sam's Club didn't have it.

Also bought You're Only Old Once by Dr. Seuss and The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.

Hope to start the book soon - am currently in the middle of another book and I can't read two at once and keep them straight.  No, it's not an AN thing - I couldn't do this pre-surgery either.  My mother generally reads three books at one time and has no issues keeping all the plots straight - guess I didn't get that gene  ::)

K - sorry to hear about the car; hope Dave gets home all right.

Jan~
Dave got home OK and I read for just a few minutes...sounds good so far, I was just really tired!

OK, so does Dave look younger or me older???   ;D  You don't have to answer that!  I am 38 and he is 48.5 (almost 50).  The night before my T3, I got carded for a glass of wine w/ dinner!  Can you believe that?  I think it was b/c our friend, Melynn, was with us and he didn't think she was old enough (she is 29) and so he carded us both -- not Dave!!!

Actually I would have guessed that you and Dave are about the same age.

Not saying that you look older; saying he looks younger than his age.

I haven't been carded in ages; that must have felt good  ;)

Glad he got home all right and glad you've got the book.

Happy reading,

I'm thinking 5/1 would be best of all of us - unless anyone objects.

I'm trying to get my house ready to put on the market, plus work is hectic.
I have the book, but haven't even opened it  :(

Also, OMG and K are dealing with medical stuff so I don't know if they are reading yet.
