Bunty Armitage Circus Girl

Based on the reminiscences of real-life Australian circus heroine, EVELYN HYLAND COVERLY. The young adult novel uses newspaper ads, old photographs, postcards and film scripts to weave together the fictional story of 21st Century television actor, Bunty Armitage, and the life of 19th Century Circus performer, Louisa Ireland. “Hey!” I called after him, “Do you and Lulu really meet at the pirate cave?” Alfie turned, a cheeky grin on his face. I didn’t hear his reply. I walked towards him, my hand reaching out to catch him by the arm. I walked straight through him. I walked through the fire and the pot of stew. My outstretched hand banged into something hard. It was a mirror. I could see my reflection and behind me stood Mrs D, her mouth full of pins.” What is going on? When Bunty Armitage wins the coveted TV role of Lulu Ireland, a pioneering circus girl who toured outback Australia, things just aren’t what they seem to be. What is the mystery of the faded trapeze costume? Just what is Bunty’s connection to Lulu? And can she really be in love with somebody who lived 100 years ago?
