THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Inspired by Emma Cowing's Great Aunt Violet, The Show Woman is a feisty and feminist novel set in Edwardian Scotland that is perfect for fans of The Whalebone Theatre and The Greatest Showman. In 1910, Lena's life is upended when she loses her parents and her place in the circus. Refusing to settle for a job in a factory, she joins forces with flame-haired Violet, known to most as 'the greatest trapeze artist that ever lived' to create the first all-female circus act. Together with Rosie, a fearless horse-rider and Carmen, whose ribbons hide the darkness in her past, the women form an unbreakable bond in their attempts to defy the odds stacked against them. The Show Woman is a dazzling debut about determination, female friendship and what it means to fight back in the face of adversity.
