Book Reviews of Josser: The Secret Life of a Circus Girl
Book Review: One of the most insightful and moving books I ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
Nell Stroud's account of her life working in the circus is real eye-opener, taking the reader into a community and way of life ordinarily closed to the likes of you and me.It is not only a facinating personal account but also addresses ideas of the nature of communities, private languages, life and work, life and art. Brilliant through and through.
