The French Magic Show (Paperback)

The French Magic Show tells of a brief wartime affair between an illusive cafA(c) entertainer and a member of the British WAAFas, who meet in Paris in the autumn of 1944 shortly after the cityas liberation during WWII. He is on the move with his magic act, going from city to city, and she is demobbed when she becomes pregnant. The book recounts, with some humour and several surprises, the consequences that the coupleas fateful reunion bring to a family that is consumed by lies, ambition and greed; out to get what it wants at any cost. The action starts in the war-torn Europe of 1944 and journeys through to the mid-fifties.
