Summary: The Elephant is Bradford, and 'a dream of a department store at the top of a hill so vertiginously steep it seems the whole building must break loose and roll down at any moment'.

It is about George Gershwin and The Beatles and a bonfire on the beach. Genre: Fiction -- Novel. Item #226156
