The chapters of this one-sit read are set up wonderfully to alternate between the experience of being elderly then to what it was like to be young and alive in an era of wonder and illusion aboard a boxcar circus. The protagonist of this story comes to life as the curtain is drawn back from the spectacle that was the great age of the circus and its performers. This book puts forth one possible answer to my own idle questioning as to what life would have been like if I'd packed up and joined the circus.
