NOTES
Adult language and content
A mysterious love story of lies, tricks, and illusions, filled with disappearing coins, floating objects, and seemingly impossible feats. Trilby, a young waitress with a hidden agenda, seduces a skilled magician known as Great, and convinces him to share his magic secrets with her. She is especially insistent on learning his renowned Hypnotic Balance, an illusion he made famous with his previous assistant/girlfriend. But when the trick goes horribly awry, and love is the true illusion, magic becomes a matter of life and death.
"Danger, deceit, vengeance, lust and ambition all take their turns accelerating the wicked whirlwind... Like a fine juggler, Groff keeps multiple rings suspended in mid-air throughout her elegantly framed story, surprise following surprise."
