Book (Trail) of the Month – May 2025

Book (Trail) of the Month

Where is good to travel in May via a book?

This is one to keep on your radar…..

Locations of  The Show Woman

The book?

Enter the world of a circus and meet Violet, known to all in the fairgrounds as ‘the greatest trapeze artist that ever lived’.

Why? 

“The route the fairs follow each summer is as old as the hills they traverse to get to them. It has been walked by thousands of show women before, will likely be walked by thousands more. Their footsteps have worn grooves into the earth, Now, it is her time.”

What to love

An all woman circus

A  story of family and friends, of fairgrounds and circuses.
