Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Nights at the Circus is a 1984 novel by English author Angela Carter. A picaresque, it starts with roving American reporter Jack Walser interviewing aerialist Sophie Fevvers in Victorian London on her amazing (if hard to credit) life story. Left on the doorstep of a brothel, Sophie sprouted wings when she hit puberty. Both because of this unusual feature and because she's a woman, there are many who would exploit her.The rest of the novel follows the crew of a circus that has employed Sophie as an aerialist, and that Jack covers while working undercover as a clown. Further peril and no small amount of personal change await in Tsarist Russia and Siberia. | |

Ambiguous Ending: Well Fevvers was certainly lying about something, but was it having wings or being a virgin? | |

Nights at the Circus / int_8c9e724c | comment |
Big Beautiful Woman/Statuesque Stunner: One might expect a woman with wings to be small and slylphlike, but not Sophie Fevvers. She's an absolute giant of a woman, big in every sense of the word. She's Rubenesque, over six feet tall and has a bombastic personality. She's a celestial barmaid, part Valkyrie, part fishmonger's wife. | |
