The Light of Luna Park

Advance Praise for The Light of Luna Park
“Moving…For fans of Kate Moore’s The Radium Girls and Emma Donoghue’s The Pull of the Stars… Armstrong highlights the novelty, frustration, and strength of rebellious action behind a medical marvel we take for granted today.” —Library Journal
 
"Is there anything better than falling into a novel that asks an ethical question and then answers it with a big story that arrows straight into the question's heart? No, I would say: Nothing better. What would you do to save a child? Addison Armstrong asks in this assured debut that ushers us deep into a fascinating moment in history where obstetrics and women's choices and the shadow line between circus and science combine. The Light of Luna Park got me, took me, taught me, and in the end, shook me." —Sarah Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Guest Book

"A dual timeline, a fascinating historical setting, a baby, a nurse and above all, courage. This is my kind of story! Thank you, Addison Armstrong, for writing such an intriguing and heartfelt novel." —Diane Chamberlain, New York Times bestselling author of Big Lies in a Small Town
