From the author of A Witch in Time comes a magical story spanning from Jazz Age Paris to modern-day America of family secrets, sacrifice, and lost love set against the backdrop of a mysterious circus. Paris, 1925: To enter the Secret Circus is to enter a world of wonder - a world where women weave illusions of magnificent beasts, carousels take you back in time, and trapeze artists float across the sky. Bound to her family' s circus, it' s the only world Cecile Cabot knows until she meets a charismatic young painter and embarks on a passionate affair that could cost her everything. Virginia, 2004: Lara Barnes is on top of the world, but when her fiance disappears on their wedding day every plan she has for the future comes crashing down. Desperate, Lara' s search for answers unexpectedly lead to her great-grandmother' s journals. Swept into a story of a dark circus and ill-fated love, secrets about Lara' s family history come to light and reveal a curse that has been claiming payment from the women in her family for generations. A curse that might be tied to her fiance' s mysterious fate . . . Perfect for readers of Erin Morgenstern' s The Night Circus, Erika Swyler' s The Book of Speculation and Gwendolyn Womack' s The Fortune Teller.
At times decadent and macabre, The Ladies of the Secret Circus is a mesmerizing tale of love, treachery, and depraved magic percolating through four generations of Cabot women -- Luanne G. Smith author of The Vine Witch Sayers (A Witch in Time) weaves romance, mystery, and a family curse into a spellbinding historical fantasy that stretches from 1920s Paris to modern-day America. Fans of Erin Morgenstern' s The Night Circus will love this page-turning story of dark magic, star-crossed love, and familial sacrifice. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
