About this Event
Yate Library are delighted to welcome , author of That Green Eyed Girl and 73 Dove Street. Meet Julie as she introduces her latest novel Circus of Mirrors which is published this autumn.
BERLIN, 1926: After the death of their parents, sisters Leni and Annette only have each other. Dreaming of better days, but desperate, Leni finds work at a notorious cabaret: the Babylon Circus.
From the dancer’s barely-there costumes, to the glimmering mirrors that cover the walls, the Babylon Circus is a place where reality and fantasy merge. For Leni, it’s an overwhelming new world, and she’s happiest hiding in the shadows.
Until she meets the cabaret’s resident pianist, Paul.
And so begins a love affair that will shape the lives of Leni and Annette, as they navigate the next forty years in the dark and dazzling city they call home. . .

‘A tale of two sisters and a city, all three of them so vividly drawn, I felt I knew them’ Frances Quinn, author of The Whalebone Theatre
‘An all-singing, all-dancing, moving and masterful book about two complex sisters living in incredibly complex times. Mid-twentieth century Berlin and the glittering world of Babylon Circus are brilliantly evoked’ Anna Mazzola, author of The Book of Secrets
‘Bold, brave and absorbing’ Elizabeth Buchan
