Is Sophie Fevvers, toast of Europe's capitals, part swan ... or all fake?
Is Sophie Fevvers, toast of Europe's capitals, part swan...or all fake?
Courted by the Prince of Wales and painted by Toulouse-Lautrec, she is an aerialiste extraordinaire and star of Colonel Kearney's circus. She is also part woman, part swan. Jack Walser, an American journalist, is on a quest to discover the truth behind her identity. Dazzled by his love for her, and desperate for the scoop of a lifetime, Walser has no choice but to join the circus on its magical tour through turn-of-the-nineteenth-century London, St Petersburg and Siberia.
**One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**
'Raunchy, raucous ... a rich, turn of the 19th century world, which reeks of human and animal variety.'
The Times
'Intensely amusing and also provocatively serious. This is a big, superlatively imagined novel.'
The Observer
