The author has fine mind and fine writing style that is mesmerizing at times.''... literary in the best possible sense of the word.''... she is flawless.''... lyrical, introspective and intriguing.'And this about Circus at the End of the World:'In less than 200 pages Brackenbury creates characters who depend on their strength and conviction to carry them through the dreary hardship that turn most people into whiners. But these characters don’t whine; they win. And they juggle (literally and figuratively) to explain life to themselves. Brackenbury, who is a poet, uses the tightness and verbal tension of poetry to create vignettes of landscape, personal and natural, that will stay with the reader long after the book is done.'- Quinn McDonald, QuinnCreative''The Circus At The End Of The World'' is about a boy’s search for his mother, a woman’s desire to explore the world and a man’s longing for love. It begins and ends in Tasmania as the 20th century becomes the 21st and includes juggling, magic and teenage romance.
