A few years ago, I took this book with me on a family vacation to Hawaii. I have to admit that I'm pretty hard to please when it comes to books because if they take too long to get the storyline going, I won't keep picking them up. Life's short! I'll find something better to do with my time! But THIS BOOK WAS FABULOUS! I'm serious. I couldn't put it down the whole vacation. I've recommended it to a ton of my friends and now that the movie has been made with Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson, then I really have to give a shout out to all my new blog friends as well! Here's a synopsis of the plot:
Veterinary school student Jacob meets and falls in love with Marlena, a star performer in a circus of a bygone era. They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top, and come together through their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds -- including the wrath of Marlena's charismatic but dangerous husband, August-- Jacob and Marlena find lifelong love.
So go get it and read it before the movie comes out! Then we'll all convene here to discuss how the movie didn't compare to how fabulous the book was, like we always do! :)
