With all the wonder of a small-scale The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay comes this moving and unforgettable novel about childhood, love, and magic.Growing up in a Jewish neighbourhood in the 1930s, young Benjamin Kleeman falls in love, first with Corrine Foster and then with magic. Hiding his new passions from his parents the long-suffering Bella, an Italian immigrant, and Jacob, a talented but failed inventor of elaborate mechanical devices Benjamin begins apprenticeships in magic and life itself, learning along the way that everything is more complicated than it seems.With wit, tenderness, humour, and, startling beauty, Cary Fagan brings a gifted young mans rise to a peculiar kind of stardom, wonderfully alive.
