A happy coincidence that the next book for my book club happened to also be a book from 1000 novels everyone should read - result! This was my second Angela Carter book and once again really enjoyed her use of language. The description really brought the book to life, and helped me to imagine this mystical, magical and fantastical world. The story follows Fevvers, an aerial artiste who works in a circus and an American reporter that falls under her spell. The story is told in three parts with different narrators for different pars of the book. The only part that I found a bit confusing was towards the end of the book when the narrator changed, sometimes mid page. All in all, I really enjoyed being transported to another world where you are not sure what is real and what is not.
