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.

A masterpiece

Absolutely heartbreaking. This book reduced me to ugly tears. I didn't know what to expect but I can safely say this was one of the best books I've ever read or listened to.
