At this session, The Ladies of the Secret Circus by Constance Sayers will be discussed. Sayers’ second novel (after 2020’s A Witch in Time) unfolds through two narratives, eight decades apart. It is a magical story, spanning from Jazz Age Paris to modern-day America, of family secrets, sacrifice, and lost love set against the backdrop of a mysterious circus.

“Constance Sayers’ second novel is just as much about the secrets we keep in the name of family as it is about the spells we cast in the name of love.” – Matthew Jackson, Bookpage.com
