Nights at the Circus
Angela Carter
Sophi Fevvers?the toast of Europe's capitals, courted by the Prince of Wales, painted by Toulouse-Lautrec?is an aerialiste extraordinaire, star of Colonel Kearney's circus. She is also part woman, part swan. Jack Walser, an American journalist, is on a quest to discover Fevvers's true identity: Is she part swan or all fake? Dazzled by his love for Fevvers, and desperate for the scoop of a lifetime, Walser joins the circus on its tour. The journey takes him?and the reader?on an intoxicating trip through turn-of-the-century London, St. Petersburg, and Siberia?a tour so magical that only Angela Carter could have created it.
