520    "Twenty-year-old Michel Bonnet lives on the edge of the 
       law, finding work where he can breaking in horses on the 
       outskirts of Paris. But when the Nazis invade, Michel 
       takes refuge as a stowaway on a rickety train bound for 
       the rural south of France. It's a journey that will change
       his life forever. The train is property of Le Cirque 
       Neumann--a travelling circus owned by the troubled and 
       irritable showman Werner Neumann. Neumann offers Michel a 
       job caring for the company's horses--a lucky break, but 
       with an unusual condition attached. Michel must keep to 
       himself and never speak of what he sees behind the 
       glittering curtain of the big top. But as Michel finds 
       himself pulled into the strange and wondrous world of 'the
       great spectacular' it becomes more difficult to keep his 
       promise. Why does the man with the performing monkey never
       speak, and the sword swallower turn his face away? Who are
       the silent, shadowy figures who flit like moths between 
       the wagons when the sun is down? It's clear that Neumann 
       is keeping his performers hidden away...but why? And how 
       can Michel win the love of the beautiful and exotic 
       trapeze artist Freida--the graceful, green-eyed star of 
       Neuman's spectacular--when he's been forbidden to even 
       meet her gaze?"--Provided by publisher.
