Jacob ღ Marlena ♥ Water for Elephants



Winner of the 2007 BookBrowse Diamond Award for Most Popular Book.

An atmospheric, gritty, and compelling novel of star-crossed lovers, set in the circus world circa 1932, by the bestselling author of Riding Lessons.

When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her. Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.

Beautifully written, Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.

I've not read the book but I've heard a lot of good things about it. So I'm looking forward to the movie and seeing Rob/Reese's interaction onscreen. And kinda random but it's interesting how they played mother/son in VF and now play lovers.

Yay for this thread!

"Although there are times I'd give anything to have her back, I'm glad she went first. Losing her was like being cleft down the middle. It was the moment it all ended for me, and I wouldn't have wanted her to go through that. Being the survivor stinks." <3

I've read the book and I love it
Robert and Reese are so cute in those pics. I do not know about their previous work but probably she played a young mom. Anyway Reese seems so young for her age. I can't wait for this movie. I hope it will be good as the book.

That's a great quote. BTW OT, but I love your icon.

I need to read the book soon - a lot of people seem to love it and it sounds like an interesting storyline.

Love this book! I loved Jacob's character so much - really one of the better narratives I've read. It was just an awesome book, and can't wait for the movie.
