A sumptuous period story with the most wondrously vibrant cast of characters – this tale of secrets, friendship and forbidden love will leave you enchanted.
In the late 1860s, as America was recovering from Lincoln's assassination, a man named P. T. Barnum opened a museum in New York City. Filled with oddities from around the world, it also hosted a number of sideshow freaks – including The Transformation of Bartholomew Fortuno's narrator, the Human Skeleton.
This atmospheric and utterly original story of how he fell in love with the Bearded Lady is a moving novel about human appetites and longings, exploring what it means to be profoundly unique – and demonstrating love's power to transcend even the greatest divisions.
