<''Julie Owen Moylan writes about mid-20th century women like no-one else'' Laura Price
PRE-ORDER the dazzlingly compulsive new novel from Julie Owen Moylan - perfect for fans of Cabaret and The Whalebone Theatre
Berlin, 1926. After the death of their parents, sisters Leni and Annette only have each other. Dreaming of better days, but desperate, Leni finds work at a notorious cabaret: the Babylon Circus.
From the dancer''s barely-there costumes, to the glimmering mirrors that cover the walls, the Babylon Circus is a place where reality and fantasy merge. For Leni, it''s an overwhelming new world, and she''s happiest hiding in the shadows.
Until she meets the cabaret''s resident pianist, Paul...
Twenty years later, the Babylon Circus is in ruins. Leni and Annette have a new mouth to feed. And Paul is nowhere to be seen.
Once again, Leni and Annette must depend on each other. But one of the sisters is hiding a secret. And, sooner or later, it must come to light.
