Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

I loved this book!!! One of my top favorites. It is about circus life in the 1930's. Very Interesting.
The book goes back and forth between the present 2004(?) and the past, 1930's. The man is a veterinarian for the circus. The book starts with him being between 91 or 93 years of age. He is living in an assisted living establishment. He remembers his past, then we see a glimpse of his life in the circus.
