From the dancer’s barely-there costumes, to the glimmering mirrors that cover the walls, the Babylon Circus is a place where reality and fantasy merge. For Leni, it’s an overwhelming new world, and she’s happiest hiding in the shadows. Until she meets the cabaret’s resident pianist, Paul… Twenty years later, the Babylon Circus is in ruins. Leni and Annette have a new mouth to feed. And Paul is nowhere to be seen. Once again, Leni and Annette must depend on each other. But one of the sisters is hiding a secret. And, sooner or later, it must come to light.PRAISE FOR JULIE OWEN 'Touching, entertaining and hopeful' Sunday Times'Dazzling' Good Housekeeping 'I was gripped from the first page' Sara Cox'Psychologically astute and emotionally absorbing,' DAILY MAIL'A wonderfully evocative, immersive novel that brings 50s London to life, from the smog and the nightlife to attitudes towards women' SUNDAY EXPRESS'Emotional, immersive and utterly absorbing' JENNIFER SAINT” DRIVE
