Circus of Wonders (Hardback)

'Circus of Wonders is a soaring, tumbling, whip-cracking book. Elizabeth Macneal has brought an extraordinary group of characters together in these pages; the result is a glittering world, a story as moving as it is deeply entertaining' - Daniel Mason, author of The Piano Tuner

'I loved The Doll Factory and I loved Circus Of Wonders just as much ... An intriguing and beautifully written love story as well as an exploration of the journey from rejection to adoration ... Elizabeth Macneal explores the nature of exploitation, pride and vanity through her vibrant and believable characters' - Jenny Quintana, author of The Missing Girl

'A glittering, begrimed tale of love and self-determination flush with richly detailed prose. Sumptuous, macabre, enthralling; a perfect slice of Victoriana.' - Jane Healey, author of The Animals at Lockwood Manor

'Elizabeth Macneal's novel is spectacular - a book of wonders!' - Alix Nathan, author of The Warlow Experiment

'A beautifully told and immersive look at a complex dance between exploitation and empowerment, and the question of what it really means to have control over your own life. I adored its characters, I was utterly gripped throughout, and I loved having my eyes opened to the troubling yet fascinating world of Victorian circuses' - Naomi Ishiguro, author of Escape Routes
