If you loved the fantastical aura and evocative, sensuous language of Nights At The Circus, you'll be swept away by The Passion. Winterson weaves together the story of a Venetian woman who walks on water and a French soldier obsessed with Napoleon, infusing the narrative with the same dreamlike surrealism and ornate, mesmerizing style that makes Carter's circus so unforgettable.

If you were captivated by Fevvers and the unforgettable troupe surrounding her, you'll find the Binewski family in Geek Love equally compelling. Dunn's novel dives deep into the lives of a traveling carnival family whose children are intentionally engineered to be 'freaks,' offering a rich, bizarre ensemble just as magnetic, layered, and tragicomic as Carter's performers.

If the sharp, bawdy humor and irrepressible wit of Nights At The Circus delighted you, Wise Children is a must. Carter spins the tale of twin chorus girls, Dora and Nora Chance, through a riotous, sparkling narrative full of theatrical mishaps, playful language, and satirical jabs at family, fate, and show business.

If Fevvers' boldness and complexity drew you in, you'll be fascinated by Melanie in The Magic Toyshop. This coming-of-age tale follows her as she navigates a strange new home and the sinister world of her uncle's toyshop, encountering a host of richly drawn women characters and exploring themes of transformation and self-assertion.

If you relished the way magical happenings burst into Fevvers’s world with chaotic abandon, The Master and Margarita will enchant you. Satan arrives in Soviet Moscow, accompanied by a giant talking cat and a retinue of supernatural misfits, turning reality on its head in a dazzling, unpredictable, and slyly humorous narrative.
