An old actor is expelled from the circus. His tricks no longer make the audience smile, and his stories no longer fill people’s hearts with kindness. He has lost everything: his job, his family, his home. And he is forced to leave, giving way to new performers. The lifespan of a troublemaker and a truth-teller is short—and old age taps anxiously at his back, demanding payment for his reckless youth.
But unexpectedly, fate gives him a farewell gift in the form of an orphan girl. From now on, their lives are intertwined in a tragic knot. And to make matters even worse, it’s a troubled time in France at the end of the 18th century.
A drama in four acts written long before their fateful meeting. The book includes musical inserts: Effects by Sonniss CC 4.0 https://www.sonniss.com
