Together with a magician, a snake handler, a Russian animal tamer, and a nine-year-old orphan, ringmaster Lewis Tully tours the American West in 1926 with his circus act for one last time before settling down.

My Thoughts:

A book I've never heard of by and author I've never heard of.  I know no one who has read it and a synopsis that is almost non existent.  What an awesome little gem I stumbled upon.  There are few quirky subject I really enjoy and get really excited when I can read a novel about them: Circuses, Pirates and Motorcycle Gangs.


I love the time period, and the idea of the story, a washed up circus guru giving it one last go.  Beautifully told and warms your heart.  The greatest stories are the ones you least expect.

The reviews made here are my personal opinion. I’m not being paid to review any of these books. I am by no means a professional book reviewer or editor.  I do this for the love of books.
