Brought together by magic. Torn apart by war. Europe, 1938. Even as the
daughter of the extraordinary headlining illusionist, Lena Papadopoulos has
never quite found her place within the World of Wonders - a travelling circus
that traverses the continent in a luxury steam engine. Brilliant and curious,
Lena yearns for the real-world magic of science and medicine, despite the
limitations she feels in her wheelchair. But when a young French orphan,
Alexandre, comes aboard the circus train, Lena's life is infused with magic and
wonder for the first time. But outside the bright lights of the circus, darkness
is descending on Europe. War is about to shatter Lena's world, and take away
everything she holds dear. And to recover what she has lost, Lena will have to
believe in the impossible. A must-read for fans of historical romance, The
Circus Train will take readers on a heart-wrenching two-decade journey across a
continent in which great beauty and unimaginable horror live side by side.
