Before long, their true talents emerge: Pierrot is a piano prodigy; Rose lights up even the dreariest room with her dancing and comedy. As they travel around the city performing for the rich, the children fall in love with each other and dream up a plan for the most extraordinary and seductive circus show the world has ever seen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeparated as teenagers, both escape into the city’s underworld, where they must use their uncommon gifts to survive without each other. Ruthless and unforgiving, Montreal in the 1930s is no place for song and dance, depicted by O’Neill as “a voyage across Montreal, from realms of innocence and districts of longing to zones of cruelty” (\u003cem\u003eNational Post\u003c\/em\u003e). When Rose and Pierrot finally reunite they’ll go to extreme lengths to make their childhood dreams come true. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heather O'Neill (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Rough front","offer_id":51720300724520,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/7482\/1928\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3f28c15c-79c1-428e-9969-cbc0f8246cae.jpg?v=1776440789","url":"https:\/\/hiddengembookco.ca\/products\/9781443435871","provider":"Hidden Gem Book Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
