Description
THE MAGICAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Europe, 1938. Even as the daughter of the extraordinary headlining illusionist, Lena Papadopoulos has never quite found her place within the World of Wonders - a travelling circus that traverses the continent in a luxury steam engine. Brilliant and curious, Lena yearns for the real-world magic of science and medicine, despite the limitations she feels in her wheelchair. But when a young French orphan, Alexandre, comes aboard the circus train, Lena's life is infused with magic and wonder for the first time.
But outside the bright lights of the circus, darkness is descending on Europe. War is about to shatter Lena's world, and take away everything she holds dear. And to recover what she has lost, Lena will have to believe in the impossible.
A must-listen for fans of Water for Elephants, The Circus Train will take listeners on a heart-wrenching two-decade journey across a continent in which great beauty and unimaginable horror live side by side.
Commentaires
"Utterly absorbing." (Heidi Swain, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Winter Garden)
"Step onto The Circus Train and prepare for a fantastical journey back in time, to another world with vibrant characters that leap from the page. I read The Circus Train in just two sittings, immersed in Lena's world, fascinated by the historical details that the author cleverly weaves through the plot. Highly recommended if you love historical fiction with a touch of heart-warming and magical romance, or if you crave a huge dose of adventure." (Louise Morrish, author of Operation Moonlight)
"Stunning... The Circus Train conjures up the glittering story of Lena, a young, disabled woman in a travelling circus. In the face of terrible adversity, she is determined not just to survive, but to thrive." (Polly Crosby, author of The Illustrated Child)
