A Glittering Tale of Sisterhood, Sacrifice, and Love Set in the Heart of 1920s Berlin From the author of That Green Eyed Girl - Perfect for fans of City of Girls and Sunday Times bestseller, The Whalebone Theatre! ‘Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Babylon Circus . . .’ Berlin, 1926: young Leni finds work as a cigarette girl – wide-eyed, dodging stray hands – as the painted dancers and revellers party the nights away. It’s all for her little sister Annette – to put a roof over their heads, food in their bellies. Because the two sisters have no one but each other. Then Leni meets pianist Paul, and embarks on a passionate, all-consuming love affair. But for Paul, Berlin is a dangerous place to be. If he and Leni are to have a future together, they must flee the city. For Leni, it’s an impossible choice: her sister or the love of her life? The consequences of her decision will ripple through the next four decades . . .
