"Highly original ... set in a haunting sea-world both familiar and mysterious" -- Ursula K. Le Guin "Truly magical...even those who wouldn't normally touch a fantasy novel...will love the drama of the circus. Engaging, quirky...perfect for summer escapism. Read it in the bathtub for a truly immersive experience!" Heat "A bold, fresh new talent... a wild, original imagination" Independent on Sunday "In luscious, vivid prose, Logan brings to mind Angela Carter, or Atwood or Winterson at their best" Independent "A gorgeously melancholy novel, a post-apocalyptic fairy tale of mermen and mourning birds, ghost cities on the ocean floor, and precious soil. I envy the reader who is just now picking it up." Herald
