Step right up for the most captivating read of the year . . .
Filled with the sights and sounds of Victorian England, Circus of Wonders is the instant Sunday Times bestseller from Elizabeth Macneal, author of The Doll Factory.
'Intensely satisfying' - Stacey Halls, author of The Familiars
England, 1866. When Jasper Jupiter's Circus of Wonders arrives in a coastal village, Nell soon catches the showman's eye. Shunned by her community because of the birthmarks speckling her skin, to Jasper she is a prize - she could be his very own leopard girl. But how to make her his?
Soon Nell finds herself the star of Jasper's show. Suddenly she is famous. Crowds rush to watch her soar through the air. Even Queen Victoria wants to see her perform. But is Nell free to live and love as she chooses? And when her fame begins to eclipse Jasper's own, could she be in danger? After all, the higher you fly, the steeper the fall . . .

Good story - wrong year!
Call me oldfashioned, but in trying times like these (Covid-19), I'd like to read about people who solve their problems, who find solace and purpose and love. This book doesn't give me that. Which is a shame, becaue it's well written, the characters are psychologically sound, the world of the Victorian circus is marvellously described, without overlooking the horrors of the time. But the protagonists don't get the happy end they - and I - deserve, and that is not a story I want to read just now.
