Rezension zu „Elephant Keeper “
'Captivatingly original...a wonderful feat of story-telling, remarkable for its ability to wrench your heart without resorting to sentimentality.' Daily Mail '"The Elephant Keeper" evokes 18th-century village and estate life beautifully, and is stuffed with fascinating data from medical and veterinary history.' Independent 'Charming and courageous' Sunday Express 'This charming first novel, told in Tom's tender, somewhat melancholic voice, is an account of this unusual relationship.' Independent on Sunday 'Like the elephant at its centre, Nicholson's book is gentle, profound and sweet-natured.' Observer 'A pleasingly ambling tale' FT
