Must-readâ€¦ A funny yet tragic tale of a husband and wifeâ€™s car journey across the US with Albert the alligator in tow. Yes, really.â€™ Marie ClaireA journey of a thousand miles. With an alligator on the back seat. And John Steinbeck as a passenger.This is a tale where everything is true,except the bits that are made up.In 1930s America, the Great Depression made everyoneâ€™s horizons smaller, and Elsie Lavender found herself back where she began, in the coalfields of West Virginia.She had just one memento of her halcyon days â€“ a baby alligator named Albert.Then one day, her husbandâ€™s stoical patience snapped and Elsie had to choose between Homer and Albert.She decided that there was only one thing to do: they would carry Albert home to Florida.And so began their odyssey â€“ a journey like no other, where Elsie, Homer and Albert encountered everything from movie stars and revolutionaries to Ernest Hemingway and hurricanes in their struggle to find love, redemption,and a place to call home.From the bestselling author of Rocket Boysâ€“the basis of the movie October Skyâ€“comes a long-awaited prequel. Big Fish meets The Notebook in this novel about a man, a woman, and their alligator.
