I read until after the sun came up; blurry vision finally forced me to bed. I always find historical pieces to be a precarious choice; often the author either ignores the date and uses modern slang and phrases, or s/he gets so wrapped up in the minute details, the story drags. That's not the case with this one; the way the author incorporated phrases and historical figures into the story makes it an easy read that flows seamlessly. - GirlWithMagic - Feb-08-2014 |

| Alison replaced the telephone receiver and let a broad grin plaster itself over her face. 'Tomorrow, I'm going to the circus!' If all went well, she'd be interviewing each of the performers, maybe even the owner of the circus herself. Summer Walsh; what an unusual first name. Alison rechecked her notes. Yes, it *was* Summer. And not many British circuses were owned by women, according to her research. Would that make the interview harder? she wondered suddenly.
