Water for Elephants

A Novel

Sara Gruen

Step into the magical and mysterious world of the circus during the Great Depression era, where Jacob Jankowski finds himself as a young man. Tossed onto a train that was home to the Benzini Brother's Most Spectacular Show on Earth, Jacob is introduced to a world filled with freaks and clowns, wonder and pain, and passion. But amidst the madness and chaos, Jacob forms an unlikely bond with Marlena, the star of the equestrian act, and Rosie the elephant, who was meant to be the salvation of the circus. With a story that is engrossing, characters that are engaging, and a world that is so real, you'll find yourself holding your breath in anticipation in Water for Elephants.

I’m reading WATER FOR ELEPHANTS and enjoying it quite a bit. I realize that genre-wise, it’s “historical fiction,” but what do you call the writing style? I want to find more books this engaging, with this kind of clear, direct language and storytelling while still being smart.      fuente
