INZARED QUEEN OF THE ELEPHANT RIDERS

I'm always enchanted by a historical novel that teaches me something I didn't know before. One of the best books I've read in the last year is L. Leander's INZARED Queen of the Elephant Riders. If you like historicals about the first half of the 19th Century in the U.S., novels about women overcoming the constraints of their time, or just want to escape in a book about running away to join the circus, I recommend this one.

Here's how Linda describes INZARED Queen of the Elephant Riders:

Sometimes life isn't what we wish for.  A Gypsy circus comes to a small Appalachian community in 1843.  A naïve, misunderstood farm girl is entranced by the sights, sounds and costumes and is persuaded to join the troupe.  Late one night she leaves the only home she has ever known and follows the Gypsy wagon circus.  She learns to ride the main act - an elephant named Cecil and she and the elephant form an instant bond.  She is given the stage name of INZARED, Queen of the Elephant Riders and is delighted.  

But all is not as it seems.  There are undertones of danger and sadness lurking in the shadows, as foretold by the old fortune-teller Vadoma.  Inzared finds true love and works hard to gain acceptance into the Gypsy world.  Someone is sabotaging the circus - but whom?  Inzared and Paytre (the boss handler) search for clues.  What of the family Inzared left behind?  Will they ever forgive her?  Does she miss them?

This book is for anyone who has ever had a dream so big, so overwhelming that it consumed his or her every waking minute.  Sometimes you just might get more than you bargained for and maybe it’s not what you really wanted after all.
