Histoire
A Woman of Endurance, set in nineteenth-century Puerto Rican plantation society, follows Pola, a deeply spiritual African woman who is captured and later sold for the purpose of breeding future slaves. The resulting babies are taken from her as soon as they are born. Pola loses the faith that has guided her and becomes embittered and defensive. The dehumanizing violence of her life almost destroys her. But this is not a novel of defeat but rather one of survival, regeneration, and reclamation of common humanity.

Histoire
Born in West Africa in the mid-eighteenth century, Maryam Prescilla Grace—a.k.a “Momma Grace” will live a long, wondrous life marked by hardship, oppression, opportunity, and love. Though she will be “gifted” various names, her birth name is known to her alone. Over the course of 100-plus years, she survives capture, enslavement by several property owners, the Atlantic crossing when she is only eleven years of age, and a brief stint as a pirate’s ward, acting as both a spy and a translator.

Histoire
Everywhere hailed as a masterpiece of historical adventure, this enthralling narrative recounts the experiences of 12 American sailors who were shipwrecked off the coast of Africa in 1815, captured by desert nomads, sold into slavery, and subjected to a hellish two-month journey through the bone-dry heart of the Sahara. The ordeal of these men - who found themselves tested by barbarism, murder, starvation, death, dehydration, and hostile tribes that roamed the desert on camelback - is made indelibly vivid in this gripping account of courage, brotherhood, and survival.

Description
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER
At the World of Wonders, Europe’s most magnificent travelling circus, every moment is full of magic, and nothing is as it seems—especially for the people who put on the show
Lena Papadopoulos has never quite found her place within the circus, even as the daughter of the extraordinary headlining illusionist, Theo. Brilliant and curious, Lena yearns for the real-world magic of science and medicine, despite her father’s overprotectiveness and the limitations of her wheelchair.
Lena’s unconventional life takes an exciting turn when she rescues Alexandre, an orphan with his own secrets and a mysterious past. Over several years, as their friendship flourishes and Alexandre trains as the illusionist’s apprentice, World War II escalates around them. When Theo and Alexandre are contracted to work and perform in a model town for Jews set up by the Nazis, Lena becomes separated from everything she knows. Forced to make her own way, she must confront her doubts and dare to believe in the impossible—herself.
A must-read for fans of The Night Circus and Water for Elephants, The Circus Train will take readers on a heart-rending and spectacular two-decade journey across Europe. When all is lost, how do you find the courage to keep moving forward?

Interesting Topics Covered
I listened to this book over the period of a couple of weeks during my commute. Not many authors pick the topics of polio or the circus theme, and having had an aunt who lost a leg & spent time in an iron lung due to polio during the same time frame, found the story line very interesting. I found the narration quite dry and almost gave up a couple of times, but the story compelled me to finish.

I liked this book because the way they did magic and illusion and the descriptions of the costumes was so detailed it made it very visual for me.

Weak story and blah performance
I tried so hard to like this book. I tried audiobook and paperback. In theory, I should love it - a circus trying to stay afloat during WWII under the direction of a shady ringleader while a devoted father does everything he can to protect his precocious but sickly daughter. But it is just poorly written with flat, boring characters who have over-the-top, unrealistic emotions.
It tries too hard to be a mystery, a coming of age story, a romance, and a historical fiction novel... and I only got halfway through the book so for all I know the author tried to throw in thriller and fantasy in the second half. It should have been narrowed down to just a couple of genres instead of 4 (or more).
It also tries to be an epic story, covering a couple of decades. But the author is so busy trying to force relevant historical facts, some irrelevant cultural references about the place the circus is currently in, and a solid dollop of "mystery/romance/teenage angst that you end up flying through the years without getting any solid character development. I honestly didn't care about the characters' growth or backstory at all.
Such a disappointment.
To make matters worse, it was read with absolutely zero emotional range and very little difference in voices for different characters so it was hard to figure out which character was talking.

Worst Story Ever
So poorly read that it became unbearable to listen any longer. A simpletons story, The characters are so shallow it is impossible to care about them. I thought perhaps this was intended to be a junior youth book, but even so, I can't imagine it could hold anyones attention regardless of age. Disgusted!
