Аннотация: Mirella has always been something of a misfit in her family. And turning her back on the values her mother holds most dear, she abadons her job and joins her uncle Tom. The Great Kazan, in Wombell's menagerie. Starting as a parade girl, she progresses rapidly to a vital role in her uncle's lion-taming act, but it is only when Mirella sees Levic the Clown and his death-defying high-wire act that she realises her destiny. The charismatic Hungarian takes an immediate interest in Mirella and their relationship becomes much more than that of master and pupil. But Levic is too strongly steeped in the tradition of the artiste to be tied down, and Mirella, determined to become one of England's most celebrated female performers, refuses to compromise her ambitions in order to follow her lover.
