Media reviews
"An ebullient tall tale
spellbinding
entrancing."
Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Loud, bawdy, and unabashedly sentimental a wonderfully vital creation."
The New York Times
"Night at the Circus is good, clean funwell, good fun anyway. Its raunchy moments are steaming, bizarre, at times unsettling, but there is definitely an appreciation here for love, sentiment, and entertainment."
Raymond Mungo, San Francisco Chronicle
"A three-ring extravaganza Carter's brand of fanciful and sometimes kinky feminism has never been more thoroughly or entertainingly on display."
