Reseña del libro "The Circus (en Inglés)"
Is the truth the best place to cover up a lie, or a lie the truth? We all have our flaws, failings and foibles, as we seek to understand the world and easily jump to the wrong conclusions, searching for an answer, or a way to cover it up. The truth is masked in the presentation of what people think, depending on their point of view and self-interest. Robert, a Magician, and his Assistant, Annabel, are used to creating distractions in their act. Now they want to find the truth, when John, the caretaker at the 'theatre' where they work, is found murdered. There is much to learn, not least at the local circus in East London. Much has been covered up, a few years earlier, at the Russian circus in East Germany. So, they go on their quest, knowing the police will never follow this trail, and the local press distort it for their own purpose. Everyone involved seems to be distorting some part of the story, right up to its end. The truth is so easily twisted in the midst of misunderstandings and misapprehensions. Who then is Yana, and why did John hide himself away from everyone else? Who was he really, and how would anyone know? What will happen to Robert and Annabel on their journey of discovery? The story is set in the decade after WW2 in London, East Berlin and East Germany.
