The class I had to read this for is over and I didn't manage to finish the book in time anyway.
I don't wanna completely DNF right now, maybe I'll pick it up again from Part 2 at some point.
This was a chore, I liked what I learned about Angela Carter as a person but to me her writing is tedious at best and exhausting to get through at worst.

Nights at the Circus
Angela Carter
Is Sophie Fevvers, toast of Europe's capitals, part swan...or all fake?
Courted by the Prince of Wales and painted by Toulouse-Lautrec, she is an aerialiste extraordinaire and star of Colonel Kearney's circus. She is also part woman, part swan. Jack Walser, an American journalist, is on a quest to discover the truth behind her identity. Dazzled by his love for her, and desperate for the scoop of a lifetime, Walser has no choice but to join the circus on its magical tour through turn-of-the-nineteenth-century London, St Petersburg and Siberia.
