The Secrets of a Fire King by Kim Edwards
Showcasing the intensity and perception of a truly gifted writer, this collection of stories by the author of the number 1 New York Times bestseller The Memory Keeper's Daughter transports us to exotic locations as it follows the lives of those on the fringes of society - a fire-eater, an American and his Korean war bride, a juggler and a trapeze artist, a cleaning woman whose life is interwoven with Marie Curie's.
Each must confront, in dramatically different ways, the barriers of time, place and circumstance in that most universal of human experiences- the quest to discover, and understand, the elusive mysteries of love.
