Dealer Notes
"Angela Carter's new novel is the richly comic tale of the tangled fortunes of two theatrical families, the Hazards and the Chances, and it sweeps the reader from Broadway in the 1890s to London in 1915, from a Hollywood adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream in the 1930s to London during the Blitz and reaches a sensational climax in the present day with Sir Melchior's hundredth birthday party".
