Summary: Kudos to Cathy Day!
Comment: The Circus in Winter is wonderful! I read three chapters then put the book aside to get on with my life only to find myself going back to read more. Yes, it's engrossing. Cathy Day's people are altogether real and compelling. She makes us care about them -- the circumstances of their everyday lives, their burdens, quirks, desires, schemes, disappointments -- the selective particulars that make them both strange and human. They in turn make us smile and go teary.Cathy Day's prose is deceptively spare because it is finely evocative and graced with moments of poetic insight.

Summary: Vivid Characters, Beautifully woven
Comment: "The Circus in Winter" was a fantastic read. Each character is so wonderfully alive that it's hard to beleive this is fiction. By the time i got to the end, i needed author Day's note about her research and her real hometown (Peru, Indiana) to convince me that Wallace Porter, Jennie Dixianna, Charles "Chicky" Bowles "Last Member of the Boela Tribe" and his assorted ancestors were all the remarkable creations of her imagination. The characters and their stories are beautifully woven together and often reveal truths about life in surprising and unexpected ways.

Summary: This is a great book!
Comment: I loved this book. It's one of those rare books were you enjoy every page, and feel comfortable with, from the begining. I don't usually like collections of stories, because it seems you have to keep track of new characters too often, but Cathy Day, does a great job of her characterizations, so you never feel lost.
