About the Book

From the award-winning author of BONE HOUSE...An extraordinary novel of love, death and lions, set in the glamorous and squalid circus world of London in the 1870s. Nineteen-year-old Nathan crosses the Atlantic in search of the mother who abandoned him as a young child. He takes a job in a circus south of the Thames, where he is quickly caught in a complex web of desire. THE BOUNCE is gripping, vivid, powerfully evocative: a stunning story of mothers and sons, rejection and belonging, and the treacherous pull of love.

About the Author :
Betsy Tobin is the acclaimed author of four novels: BONE HOUSE, short-listed for the Commonwealth Prize and winner of a Herodotus Prize in America, THE BOUNCE, ICE LAND, and CRIMSON CHINA, a BBC Radio 4 Book-At-Bedtime and shortlisted for Epic Romantic Novel of the Year. Her books have been published throughout Europe and North America and two have been optioned for feature film. Betsy also writes for stage and radio, and is a past winner of the London Writers' Competition for her short story, JOYRIDE.

Review :
Worth rolling up for this darkly romantic book. -- Play One glimpse of the fantastical and seedy world of the Victorian circus and you're utterly drawn in...Delightful and bittersweet. -- The Big Issue Tobin's treatment of the animals is a triumph...Avoiding anthropomorphic cliche, she deftly portrays the discomfort of a lioness in the last stages of pregnancy, the awkwardness of her mate and the sheer, muscle-bound physicality of the creatures themselves. -- Daily Mail This novel can only be described in terms of something delicious like a real pavlova, full of wonderful layers for your intellectual teeth...A stunning novel and worth the concentrated reading it deserves. -- The Historical Novels Review Beautifully written...satisfying. -- The Independent Worth rolling up for this darkly romantic book. -- Play A sad and powerful book, which leaves a strong emotional imprint. -- The Bookseller Spell-binding...a captivating work from a prize-winning author. -- Lancashire Evening Post A sad and powerful book, which leaves a strong emotional imprint. -- The Bookseller One glimpse of the fantastical and seedy world of the Victorian circus and you're utterly drawn in...Delightful and bittersweet. -- The Big Issue Tobin's treatment of the animals is a triumph...Avoiding anthropomorphic cliche, she deftly portrays the discomfort of a lioness in the last stages of pregnancy, the awkwardness of her mate and the sheer, muscle-bound physicality of the creatures themselves. -- Daily Mail Betsy Tobin has set her beautifully written second novel in a 19th-century London circus...Satisfying. -- The Independent This novel can only be described in terms of something delicious like a real pavlova, full of wonderful layers for your intellectual teeth. For me, good historical novels are like good science fiction: they examine our fears, foibles and ways of thinking in a setting so different from our own, but through characters who feel like us, that we are forced to rethink. This The Bounce does so well...a stunning novel and worth the contentrated reading it deserves. -- The Historical Novels Review Betsy Tobin's The Bounce is set amid the excitement of a 19th century English circus, moving convincingly between human and animal perspectives of events...A sad and powerful book, which leaves a strong emotional imprint. -- The Bookseller Spell-binding...a captivating work from a prize-winning author. -- Lancashire Evening Post
