First published in 1984, this novel is set at the end of the nineteenth century and follows Sophie Fevvers, a fantastical aerialiste, part woman, part swan, touring Europe with a circus. Blending magical realism with Carter’s singular feminist imagination and lyrical prose, it is one of her most beloved novels.
