Litfuse Review- The Ringmaster's Wife by Kristy Cambron

Hey everyone!! Sitting here right now (Listening to Karen Kingsbury's "The Bridge") I am delighted to share a fantastic novel with you...

*Summary*

An ounce of courage. A split-second leap of faith. Together, they propel two young women to chase a new life—one that’s reimagined from what they might have become.

In turn-of-the-century America, a young girl dreams of a world that stretches beyond the confines of a quiet life on the family farm. With little more than her wit and a cigar box of treasures to call her own, Mable steps away from all she knows, seeking the limitless marvels of the Chicago World’s Fair. There, a chance encounter triggers her destiny—a life with a famed showman by the name of John Ringling.

A quarter of a century later, Lady Rosamund Easling of Yorkshire, England, boards a ship to America as a last adventure before her life is planned out for her. There, the twenties are roaring, and the rich and famous gather at opulent, Gatsby-esque parties in the grandest ballrooms the country has to offer. The Jazz Age has arrived, and with it, the golden era of the American circus, whose queen is none other than the enigmatic Mable Ringling.

When Rosamund’s path crosses with Mable’s and the Ringlings’ glittering world, she makes the life-altering decision to leave behind a comfortable future of estates and propriety, instead choosing the nomadic life of a trick rider in the Ringling Brothers’ circus.

A novel that is at once captivating, deeply poignant, and swirling with exquisite historical details of a bygone world, The Ringmaster’s Wife will escort readers into the center ring, with its bright lights, exotic animals, and a dazzling performance that can only be described as the greatest show on earth!

This book was fantastic, and so well written! I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked it up..so few people write about this era. All I knew was that Kristy's other books were wonderful so I gave it a try!

Details so vivid you could practically smell popcorn and hear the elephants, Kristy's painstaking research pays off! 

Filled with intrigue and historical details you've never read quite like this, "The Ringmaster's Wife" by Kristy Cambron is a must read!
