During the depression a veterinary student runs away and joins the circus where he falls in love.
Review:
I wanted this story to be better than it was, that said it wasn't that bad. Jacob is a very well thought out character, but the rest are all a bit flat. The plot itself was really intriguing, aside from the stereotypical romance (which wasn't that bad but should have this book categorized on the romance shelve rather than the contemporary fiction ones it seems to occupy). The writing was alright, but really not that good, not good enough to have been the #1 New York Times Bestseller for 9 weeks.

Notable Quotes:
"With a secret like that, at some point the secret itself becomes irrelevant. The fact that you kept it does not."

If you enjoyed this you should read:
The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck (written during the great depression)
Outlander Series - Diana Gabaldon (not really related, but is historical romance worth reading)
The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern (though it is not really related you should read it anyway)
