Narrated by David LeDoux, John Randolph Jones

An atmospheric tale of life and love in a Depression-era traveling circus.
Nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski reflects back on his wild and wondrous days with a circus.
It's the Depression Era and Jacob, finding himself parentless and penniless, joins the
Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. There he meets the freaks, grifters,
and misfits that populate this world. Jacob introduces us to Marlena, beautiful star
of the equestrian act; to August, her charismatic but twisted husband (and the circus'
animal trainer); and to Rosie, a seemingly untrainable elephant. Beautifully written,
with a luminous sense of time and place, Water for Elephants tells of love in a world
in which love's a luxury few can afford.Water for Elephants is our Editors' Pick for
Fiction as well as Audiobook of the Year. Find out what else made Audible's Best
of 2006 list.
