I absolutely loved this book. Unfortunately I stayed up half the night reading it and was very tired at work the next day! I am 48 years old and my children are off to college. This book makes you think about getting older without being depressing. It is flashbacks/memories of the life of an old man in a nursing home who was a veternarian with a circus during the depression. Both mena and women would enjoy reading this book, I think.
