This is a lighter WWII historical fiction book. There wasn't a lot of tension due to the war; the circus seemed a bit above it all. That isn't to say this isn't an enjoyable book. If you are looking for a book about family secrets and family drama that is not directly connected to the war then this is definitely up your alley.
Amita Parikh paints a lush world of the circus that hides the secrets of some of its biggest stars. One young lady, who is often over looked due to her disability, aims to uncover those secrets and make a name for herself outside the magical world she was raised in.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest revew.
