Just completed prompt for Three Generations - The Ladies of the Secret Circus by Constance Sayers. Overall, I enjoyed this fantastical, macabre tale. It was a nice escape from a day of chores. And I really appreciated the exploration of the relationship between the related women. However, there were bits missing and a few parts that were a bit too long for the overall story. I received this book as a free giveaway in exchange for my honest review. Worth reading! 4 stars
