BOOK OF THE YEAR - EVENING STANDARD, THE OBSERVER and THE TIMES
‘Beautifully written and completely convincing’ The Observer TO
LOVE IS TO FALL . . . On a rooftop in Elizabethan London two worlds
collide. Shay is a messenger-girl and trainer of hawks who sees the
future in the patterns of birds. Nonesuch is the dark star of the
city's fabled child theatre scene, as famous as royalty yet lowly
as a beggar. Together they create The Ghost Theatre: a troupe
staging magical plays in London's hidden corners. As their
hallucinatory performances incite rebellion among the city's
outcasts, the pair's relationship sparks and burns against a
backdrop of the plague and a London in flames. Their growing fame
sweeps them up into the black web of the Elizabethan court, where
Shay and Nonesuch discover that if they fly too high, a fall is
sure to come… Fantastical and captivating, The Ghost Theatre
charts the rise and dramatic destruction of a dream born from love
and torn apart by betrayal. 'Dramatic and gripping... a breathless
journey of hope, beauty, wonder, tragedy, and the power of theatre'
Isabelle Schuler 'Utterly transporting' Catriona Ward 'Vivid, heady
and brilliantly staged' Stuart Evers 'Rich and evocative with
shades of Angela Carter' Ever Dundas 'A story of rebellion and
magic, of mysticism and broken love in the streets and theatres and
rooftops of Elizabethan London. Beautifully written, delicate and
sad. I'm still haunted by it' Mariana Enriquez 'Osman brings the
underworld of Elizabethan London to life with its child theatres,
rioting apprentices and anarchic world, its jumble of squalor and
glamour... larger-than-life heroes raise child rebellions; pursue
exalted, treacherous love affairs; see the future in a flock of
birds. Glorious!' Sandra Newman
