Description
A vibrant novel about the search for love of the century, great losses, and second chances. A family saga in which shy painter Esther recounts the fates of three generations living under one roof, set in Copenhagen, at the Paris Opera, and in the Sovalskaja circus on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. When Hannibal buys a house in Copenhagen in 1921, he imagines a home filled with opera, a bohemian spirit, and love as intoxicating as in the Song of Solomon. However, for his bride, the Russian artist Varinka, the era of miracles ended the moment she witnessed her first love disappear into the jaws of a hippo. Meanwhile, Hannibal and Varinka's daughter, stewardess Eva, a lover of magic and likely a clairvoyant, finds a much more passionate relationship when she falls in love with Swedish pigeon tamer Jan Gustav. Hannibal's desire for love and art also transfers to his granddaughters, twins Esther and Olga, who compete for the title of family artist, while their older sister Filippa longs to become the first female astronaut in the world.
