This is a book my wife read and really liked. It is the story remembered by an old man, of his younger days with the circus during the great depression. He examines all parts of the life from the working men to the star performers. It is an excellent book and it gives you a sense of how desperate things were during this time. It is an excellent story, with several sub plots. I did enjoy this book, although (without giving anything away) I think it was a bit too easy the way a few of the problems were cleared up. But overall it was an enjoyable book
