Truly marvellous coming of age story, set in the 1930s depression era. I was not expecting a story of two men travelling west with two giraffes to be so engrossing, so enthralling... So many near disasters (two flat tires had my heart in my mouth, a sudden downpour was terrifying) and the social inequalities of the day (racial, gender & economic) are repeatedly witnessed or felt by the three main characters (five if you include the two giraffes).
Vibrant and incredibly well written adventurous novel.
Thoroughly recommended.
