Publisher's Description

From the bestselling author of the phenomenally successful The Kashmir Shawl

London 1885.
A terrifying place for a young, beautiful woman of limited means. But Eliza is modern before her time. Not for her the stifling if respectable conventionality of marriage, children, domestic drudgery. She longs for more. Through her work as an artist’s model, she meets the magnetic and irascible Devil – a born showman whose dream is to run his own theatre company.

Devil’s right-hand man is the improbably-named Carlo Bonomi, an ill-tempered dwarf with an enormous talent for all things magic and illusion. Carlo and Devil clash at every opportunity and it constantly falls upon Eliza to broker an uneasy peace between them. And then there is Jasper Button. Mild-mannered, and a family man at heart, it is his gift as an artist which makes him the unlikely final member of the motley crew.

Thrown together by a twist of fate, their lives are inextricably linked: the fortune of one depends on the fortune of the other. And as Eliza gets sucked into the seductive and dangerous world her strange companions inhabit, she risks not only her heart, but also her life…


Please Note

All books are from a pet/smoke free home. They are stored and supplied in cellophane wraps to ensure that they maintain their condition as stated

Please note that the images are of the Book itself. Where there are multiple copies they will all be of the same quality as shown.


At the point of listing our prices are very competitive but this can change over time and it is impossible for us to keep checking and amending prices accordingly.

We therefore welcome sensible offers, when stated in the listing, and will do our best to be competitive with other listings of the same condition. We will take the time to check before responding.

For a period of time immediately after listing, as we take care in our pricing, we reserve the right to decline offers for a period of time. When this occurs we will notify you of that.


Although our listings say 2 days, we aim to dispatch orders within 1 working day. There may be some occasions where this is impossible but we try to do our best.

Our local postal collections have changed over time. Currently the post is collected mid morning so we endeavour to get all orders placed by 9am into that day's post. 

Once posted we are at the mercy of the Royal Mail who have done a brilliant job for us but occasionally experience difficulties.


We are not a huge faceless corporation, just a married couple doing our best to source and sell high quality books & CDs. We do our best and want our customers to have the best possible buying experience but we are human and very occasionally get things wrong. Thankfully that is very rare, but in those cases we will do our best to resolve problems as quickly as possible.
