THE MAGICIAN'S ASSISTANT

ANN PATCHETT

Having spent twenty years as a magician's assistant to a man who, though he loved her dearly, loved men more, Sabine is faced with her own life after the magician's death. This rich, elegant novel is an exploration of love and contentment, of abandoned vs. cherished childhoods, the creation of one's own adulthood, and of what it takes to choose life when surrounded by death.
