The Traveling Triple-C Incorporeal Circus by Alanna McFall
Big thanks to Netgalley and the novel’s publishers abs of course author !
Just started to read this novel, I’m only on the early chapters so far but I really like it. The characters are really well created and I’m intrigued to see what happens. The description of the book was what first drew my attention to it. As the description states ‘Chelsea is determined to make it to her brother’s wedding. And she’s not going to let the fact that she’s been dead for two years stop her.
Joining with her mime friend from a New York City park and her ghostly mentor with forty years of afterlife under her belt, the three women set out on foot for San Francisco. Along the way, they are faced with joy, sorrow, and the haunting surprises of the open road. This humorous and lightly macabre journey explores relationships, personal burdens, and what it means to keep moving, even when your heartbeat has stopped‘. Initially I wasn’t sure what to make of a book with a dead protagonist especially as we only get to meet the living Chelsea in the prologue. I’m enjoying this book immensely and can’t wait to find out where the story goes.
I’ve just finished chapter 3. I absolutely love the interaction between the dead residents of New York and the mime Cyndricka. The interplay between the living mime and the dead was just lovely. The author has blurred the line, creating a dichotomy of worlds. The mime is able to see and indeed interact with the dead, giving two performances in Central Park. One for the benefit of the living and one for the dead at the same time.
