Author: J. Robert Janes

Publisher's Summary:
Amid the ruins of an abandoned Alsatian carnival, St-Cyr and Kohler investigate a pair of suspicious suicides During the Great War, Hermann Kohler and Jean-Louis St-Cyr fought in Alsace on opposite sides of the barbed wire. Two decades later, they return as partners: a Gestapo officer and a French cop investigating everyday crimes in a world gone mad with war. In February 1943, Alsace is unrecognizable - an occupied country where speaking French is all it takes to lose ones freedom. St-Cyr and Kohler have been summoned to a POW camp where soldiers and assistants manufacture textiles on the grounds of a deserted carnival. Where industry and warfare overlap, they will find a conspiracy worthy of the most twisted house of mirrors.
Two prisoners of this garish, decrepit circus have killed themselves, and the jailers must at least make a show of finding out why. Although the trenches of the Great War are long gone, St-Cyr and Kohler find that in Alsace, the fires of battle smolder still.

Tip your taxi driver, and your novelist.
Brilliant writer. Surreal, moody, exciting, unpretentious, and most of all - entertaining. I am not surprised Hage has been shortlisted for the top literary prizes. He is that good. This novel will also make you appreciate taxi drivers, hookers, immigrants, and my city.
Enjoyed the book
Enjoyed the book. Surprising ending. Good portrayal of life in England at the time for poor people, so rather sad too.
Review Carnival by Compton MacKenzie
Very well written book with wonderful rhythm, vocabulary and situational/environmental descriptions. It was interesting to read about the opportunities and place of women in society at that time; also about the actions women had to take to survive and meet societal expectations.
Quite a Shakespearean ending.
beautifully told
unique, beautifully told story
Not worth the read
I like books from this time period but this just went on and on and on about things that did not forward the plot and many of the characters were unlikable.
