Review Quotes

Girl Flees Circus is a vacation to a place in the past you'll remember for years to come.--Sharon Oard Warner, author of Writing the Novella

A squadron of great characters.--Publishers Weekly

High-flying entertainment in a down-to-earth tale.--Lone Star Literary Life

I absolutely loved it. The writing is stellar. The characters stay with you, and the story line is fresh, the dialogue wonderful. I laughed in many places but also felt each character's regrets and sadness. Brilliant!--Ann Weisgarber, author of The Glovemaker: A Novel

Not to be missed.--Library Journal (starred)

This is a hell of a read. Girl Flees Circus is the closest you'll come to reinventing your life from an armchair: all new people, fresh observations, wit, and achingly beautiful language.--Lisa Schamess, author of Borrowed Light

This little settlement so far from our urban worlds wouldn't strike us as a place we'd want to live, but it comes vividly alive with Katie's arrival. The inhabitants are ordinary people in an ordinary place that Smith has made seem magical.--Jim Sanderson, author of El Camino del Rio
