The Bounce by Betsy Tobin, a literary fiction journey-of-self-discovery-ish novel set in Victorian England, originally out from Headline in 2003. This has quoted blurb praise from The Independent and other UK newspapers.
From the award-winning author of BONE HOUSE...An extraordinary novel of love, death and lions, set in the glamorous and squalid circus world of London in the 1870s.
Nineteen-year-old Nathan crosses the Atlantic in search of the mother who abandoned him as a young child. He takes a job in a circus south of the Thames, where he is quickly caught in a complex web of desire.
THE BOUNCE is gripping, vivid, powerfully evocative: a stunning story of mothers and sons, rejection and belonging, and the treacherous pull of love. |
A squalid circus? This sounds like my kind of book.
Thank you!
