Summary:
"Set in Prague and narrated by the 600-year-old Charles Bridge, the novel begins with an elephant named Sal escaping the Prague Zoo. As the elephant moves through the beautiful Czech city, the lives of the men and women she meets are altered by the encounter. Sal carries the narrative from one point of view to another, but through it all steals the show. Wandering the streets in search of water and food, bearing her own share of sadness and painful memories, she struggles to find a way out of her bewildering predicament. Though she, like the humans she encounters, is free now to make her own choices, she is also displaced and lost. Thomas Trofimuk's novel masterfully convinces us to accept all the wonders contained in it: that a bridge can tell a story, that art is integral to our survival, that an elephant can scatter sudden flashes of insight in her wake, that there is no separation between the grief of elephants and the grief of humans."--Provided by publisher.
