Born into a post-war circus family, our nameless start was unwanted and forgotten, abandoned in the shadows of the big top. Until the bright light of Serendipity Wilson threw her into focus.
Now an adult, haunted by an incident in which a child was lost from the circus, our narrator, a tightrope artiste, weaves together her spellbinding tale of circus legends, earthy magic and folklore, all in the hope of finding the child…But will her story be enough to bring the pair together again?
Beautiful and intoxicating, A Girl Made of Air brings the circus to life in all of its grime and glory; Marina, Manu, Serendipity, Wilson, Fausto, Big Gen and Mouse will live long in the hearts of readers. As will this story of loss and reconciliation, of storytelling and truth.
A Girl Made of Air by Nydia Hetherington is expected to be published June 1st, 2021 by Quercus.
Why am I waiting on this book? I like the idea of the blend of circus legends, magic, and folklore. I enjoyed Angela Carter's books. And I haven't read The Night Circus yet, but it's on my TBR list. So, I am intrigued by this circus tale.
