Picked this up on the share shelves at Beach Hotel Elias in Cyprus... read it by the pool... and now ready to return it again!
I saw hype about the film a few years back but hadn’t seen it nor read the book until now. I wasn’t convinced that Sara Gruen really captured a male voice in the narration, but I enjoyed reading the postscript about the varied historical sources behind some of the episodes in this novel: Topsy, Old Mom, Jamaica ginger paralysis, a deceased four-hundred-pound strong lady displayed in a parade, etc. Wow.
