One of the topics I love reading about is circus fiction. I don't know why I love this subject so much, I just do! I was very excited when I saw that Barbour was releasing a new circus fiction, The Girl From Tomorrow's Town, and quickly reached out to see if I could review a copy.
Don't be fooled by this book's placement in a series as its the kind of episodic series where each book is about different characters, in a different setting, and by different authors.This one is set in 1918 (a time period I've been gravitating towards a lot this year) Indiana, though it starts in Wyoming, and it follows a 19 year-old young woman searching for her birth mother + a male protagonist who has very impaired vision. He's a roustabout for a circus and helps her get a job as a circus seamstress so she can travel on the circus train and search for her mother as she goes.
As I expected, I definitely liked this book and enjoyed seeing it all unfold. It was very easy to root for Lily and Francis, two generally nice characters, and want to see their stories end well. This was my first read by this author and I'll likely read others by her, too.
*I received a free copy of The Girl From Tomorrow's Town from Barbour exchange for an honest review.
