After several heavy books in a row, I was looking for something lighter. As with many lighter books these days, this one devotes most of the first half of the book to introducing readers to one quirky character after another. But in the last half, the story turns more serious & builds momentum, as the main character, a circus master, battles his PAST as an orphan & failed circus master, while taking responsibility for an 11-year-old orphan anxious about his FUTURE. Their struggles over the past & future meld as they live a life that celebrates (& fears) the unpredictability of life in a traveling circus & as both find security in the family made up of the circus people who surround them with love & affection.

For the man, it was one last chance to triumph over his past. Opportunities like these happen only once in a Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
