An enchanting, Dickensian tale of desire, magic, and the Victorian theatre . . .
Framed by Rosie Thomas' rich portrayal of the rapidly changing world of late-Victorian England, The Illusionists takes readers on an unforgettable journey with a cast of passionate, larger-than-life figures who are inextricably linked through their shared love of the stage and the theatre, and is a wonderful choice for fans of Sarah Waters, Erin Morgenstern, and/or Sara Gruen.
“Beneath this buoyant tale of down-market entertainers in Victorian London rumbles a heavyweight novel ... As intricate and thrilling as any accomplished bit of conjuring.” -- The New York Times
