Set in a travelling circus touring the backblocks of America during the Great Depression of the early 1930s this is a story of love and hate, trains and circuses, dwarves and fat ladies, horses and elephants - or to be more specific, one elephant, Rosie, star of Benzini Bros Most Spectacular Show on Earth ...
I loved this.
I loved the "elder looking back on his life" set up. I loved the conflict that ended, honestly, catharticly. And I loved the very end.
It was a great book that I tore through in about 2 sittings.
