I really enjoyed listening to to this book, another tale of hardship during WWII. I have already listened to "The NIghtengale", and "Lilac Girls". The vivid description of the circus, at a time when Ringling Bros. is disbanding, put a deeper meaning on the close of a page of history. The lives of the performers are reminiscent of "Water for Elephants". The relationship between the two women is poignant and detailed, but the depth of some of the characters falls flat. The use of two narrators is effective. An easy entertaining listen, with a bit of a surprise ending, it is good fare for long hours on the road.
