pickThis nonfiction book is about Lillian Leitzel, the most famous woman in the world at the height of her aerial talent, and her almost but not quite as famous third husband Alfredo Cardona, a trapeze artist. They both were the star attractions for the Ringling Bros. Circus in the early 1900s, with back stories and lives so dramatic and tragic they almost seem fictional. The author did a good job telling their stories. The narrator was superb. ⬇️
Texreader I doubt I would have read (listened to) this book but for needing the #letterQ for #litsyatoz. I‘m so glad I did. There was so much to learn about circus life, life at the turn of the century, the glitz and glamour, and the impact of the Great Depression on the circus world. #blameitonlitsy 4y
