Description:
Theatre of Marvels has descriptive copy which is not yet available from the Publisher.
From the Publishers Weekly Review: Set in the underworld of Victorian London's musical theater scene, this debut novel follows an act known as the "Great Amazonia" in a local variety show. The woman behind the act, and the book's narrator, is Zillah, and her performances include everything from war dances to blood sacrifices. Her persona--she's advertised as the "dangerous savage from darkest Africa"--doesn't match up with reality, though. Zillah, who lives in West London, is born free, and keeps secret the chasm between her real life and her stage persona. Her closest friends, the Galway-born singer Ellen and the stage manager Barky, also harbor secrets of their own. Their lives then come crashing together when Zillah begins a forbidden romance with the wealthy Viscount Vincent Woodward. We said the thrilling novel feature "secondary characters" and stands as "a stunning historical drama."
