An extraordinary novel of love, death and lions.
This is a tale of love and loss, set in the glamorous and squalid circus world of London in the 1870s. Nineteen-year-old Nathan crosses the Atlantic in search of the mother who abandoned him as a young child. He takes a job as a cage boy in a circus south of the Thames, where he is quickly caught in a complex web of longing.
'The Bounce' is gripping, vivid, powerfully evocative; a stunning story of mothers and sons, rejection and belonging, and the treacherous pull of love.
