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.

This book was beyond what I had bargained for. It examines the life and times of this wondrous sentient being, his human family that saved him, and his connections with the world around him. Beautifully written. It truly feels like he is telling you his life story. The book shows how our bonds with family and friends last forever.
Most importantly this book shows how the impact of humans (good or bad) truly impacts the lives of the animals in this world we all share.
Such an amazing read.

A beautiful reflection of humanity and our connection with wildlife.

I give very few 5 star reviews, but this book deserved it. It’s one of the most unique books I’ve read. It wasn’t a “feel good” book, but it’s contents warranted merit. There were times of happiness and times of tears, and everything was wrapped in “heart”. When a book makes you “feels things”, that is a good book in my opinion. I also would like to acknowledge the narrator.

A wondrous “journey” and book

I adore elephants. They are by far my favorite creatures. This story just made me love them more seeing us and the world through the eyes of an elephant. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Be prepared with tissues at the beautiful ending.
