Fleeing his mother's legacy -- a consumptives' hotel in a fading English seaside resort -- Cy reinvents himself in the incandescent honky-tonk of Coney Island in its heyday between the two world wars. Amid the carnival decadence of freak shows and roller coasters, enchanters and enigmas, scam artists and marks, Cy will find his muse: an enigmatic circus beauty who surrenders her body to his work, but whose soul tantalizingly eludes him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060817240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060817244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.36w x 0.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/08\/2005 pg. 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 806\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2005 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/06\/2005 pg. 17","brand":"Sarah Hall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995476394239,"sku":"9780060817244","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e742fd4-32a6-4e7a-9f06-fc11c9203b51.jpg?v=1683336032","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-electric-michelangelo-sarah-hall-9780060817244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
