Great fun summer read. It’s about circus life in the late 20's and 30's. It was well researched and includes many old photos.

LOVED the main character and can't decide if I liked the old wheelchair bound one or the young man recalling his youth better. It has tragedy, joy, love, hate, humor, schizophrenia, travel and history. A fast read. You will love the end…I was crying on the train this morning.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance."- Taylor Caldwell , 1965

I enjoyed this book very much too. It started out a little slow for me, but it soon started flowing & turned into a wonderful story that I couldn't put down. I gave my daughter a copy for Christmas.

Highly recommended!
