Set apart from her community because of the birthmarks that speckle her skin, Nell's world is her beloved brother and devotion to the sea. Moving from the pleasure gardens of Victorian London to the battle-scarred plains of the Crimea, Circus of Wonders is an astonishing story about power and ownership, fame, and the threat of invisibility. The spellbinding new novel from Elizabeth Macneal, author of the Sunday Times bestselling "The Doll Factory".
