This is for our adult readers. Some explicit scenes and language make this an amazing love triangle story. The setting of a 1930's circus was a great place for drama and unexpected things to happen. The reality was that most of the things in the book came from actual events pieced together which I thought was great! I loved how the author switched from the narrator in his elderly state to his younger self reliving his moments working for the circus.

This is a great read, sad at times but a wonderful story!
