莎拉·格魯恩(Sara Gruen),對動物有著莫名的狂熱,先前齣版過兩本與馬有關的書,都廣受歡迎。書中很多的角色都是根據真實人物為藍本,故事背景則是根據1930年代的巡迴馬戲團。她現與丈夫、三名子女、四隻貓、兩頭羊、兩條狗、一匹馬同住在芝加哥北部的環保小區。
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.
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.
过程很精彩,一口气读完的,但是结局有些太快,而且有些过于理想化。买这本书纯粹是因为它是畅销第一名,每个月我都会去书店买书店排行前10的书。在这里,动物是被虐待的,每次看到萝被抽,被打,想象到钩子在他身上划来划去,就很心痛。在这里,爱情是畸形的。玛的第一次婚...
評分 評分好看好看好看!!!
评分A good book, but not really my type.
评分~~Thanx to Alyssia~~~
评分馬戲團和大蕭條的背景為老掉牙的婚外戀愛情故事增色不少,但是。。。也仍然就是個暢銷書而已。倒是很想看看電影中的Rosie。
评分讀之前以為是兒童小說;讀第一章節以為是驚悚小說;讀到中間以為是流浪小說;讀到最後纔知道,馬戲團是縮影,每個人背後都有自己的影子,看似殘暴的August,在感情上,無能為力;Jacob似乎不可思議的流浪,絕望的感情,都在那匆匆一跳中,當初隻為逃離狼的嚎叫。
