Shortlisted for the 2012 Encore Award
A gripping and colourful historical novel based on the 1870 tour of Australia by the celebrated midget General Tom Thumb and his troupe.
When Mary Ann, an impoverished governess, rescues a child from the Yarra River, she sets in motion a train of events that she could never have foreseen. It is not a child she has saved but General Tom Thumb, star of a celebrated troupe of midgets on their 1870 tour of Australia.
From the enchanting Queen of Beauty Lavinia Stratton to the brilliant pianist Franz Richardson, it seems that Mary Ann has fallen in among friends. She soon discovers, however, that relationships within the troupe and its entourage are far from harmonious. Jealousy is rife, and there are secrets aplenty: even Mary Ann has one of her own.
Relief, however, gradually turns to fear as she realises that she may be a pawn in a more dangerous game than she imagined.
