Sinopsis
A lush and thrilling romantic fable about two lovers set against the scandalous burlesques, midnight séances, and aerial ballets of the 1898 Omaha World’s Fair. On the eve of the 1898 Omaha World’s Fair, Ferret Skerritt, ventriloquist by trade, con man by birth, isn’t quite sure how it will change him or his city. Omaha still has the marks of a filthy Wild West town, even as it attempts to achieve the grandeur and respectability of nearby Chicago. But when he crosses paths with the beautiful and enigmatic Cecily, his whole purpose shifts and the fair becomes the backdrop to their love affair. One of a traveling troupe of actors that has descended on the city, Cecily works in the Midway’s Chamber of Horrors, where she loses her head hourly on a guillotine playing Marie Antoinette. And after closing, she rushes off, clinging protectively to a mysterious carpetbag, never giving Ferret a second glance. But a moonlit ride on the swan gondola, a boat on the lagoon of the New White City, changes everything, and the fair’s magic begins to take its effect. From the critically acclaimed author of The Coffins of Little Hope , The Swan Gondola is a transporting read, reminiscent of Water for Elephants or The Night Circus .

Sobre Bookshelfillers
Nearly 20 years ago, our business was grown out of a love of books. Upon discovering the world of online auctions and independent book dealers, a passion for collecting had become renewed. This eventually led us to pursuing going into business ourselves. We loved the thrill of finding that title you never thought you would hold again, the excitement of that package hitting your front step, and we considered how it would feel to be on the other end of that process. We love idea of pairing the right book with the right reader, whether that be for studies, for travel, or for bedtime. We know the passion behind building a collection that defines your specific tastes as a proud reader. We feel very much a part of the community of book lovers around the world. We have grown our inventory over the years to thousands of titles that range from popular fiction and collectible children's books to educational and even antiquarian. We take pride in what we do because we love what we do and look forward to providing our customers with great books for years to come!
