The June discussion book at Rust Library was Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Leesburg readers had a lively conversation--wondering whether it’s possible to runaway to the circus more than once in a lifetime and why the author opens the book with such a misleading description of events and if Marlena knows what really happened during the animal stampede. The book’s evocative setting in a depression era traveling circus reminded many readers of their own experiences when the circus came to town and the texture of life during this period of American history.
If you haven’t read Water for Elephants, you will enjoy it. This book received unanimous thumbs up from our discussion group.
