Publisher's Summary

The Memory of an Elephant is an epic saga told by an aging African elephant as he makes a last, perilous journey to find the humans who rescued him as an orphan some fifty years ago. Interwoven with his narrative are the tumultuous lives of the family who raised and then lost him. 

This timeless story is alternately heartwarming and heartbreaking, spanning east Africa, Great Britain, and New York from 1962 to 2015.

Fantastic Read - The Elephant Speaks!

What a great book. I loved it. You can be so engrossed in the truly excellent narration but really feel like you are truly listening to the thoughts and memories of an elephant. Great concept. In this book you will hear both the worst that human beings can do to other species but also the best. Despite the moments of shame and empathy I felt for the elephant narrator, I found it an enjoyable, thought provoking and ultimately uplifting book.
