(3) YA Inseparable sisters Rita and Lo are trapeze artists, born into a small UK circus. When Lo falls for a boy outside the circus, Rita worries the forbidden romance will destroy their family; Lo worries their mother's secret affair already has. In alternating perspectives, the sisters' stories spiral toward a tragic ending. Descriptions of the troupe's increasingly risky performances add eerie tension.
