The Carousel

by Stefani Deoul

Overview

A bone-weary, emotionally drained woman shows up one morning at a diner and gas station in a small Northeast town. Intending to refuel on gas and coffee and just keep driving, she is drawn instead to a pile of discarded carousel horses at the junkyard next door. Her find begins a ripple of gossip, mystery, and a restorative journey for the horses, herself, and the curious collection of townspeople joining her on the tumultuous ride of hope, patience and a chance to grab the brass ring.

What People are Saying About This

Maribeth Fischer

It's not only the story itself, of finding beauty and belonging in the places and people where one least expects it, that makes The Carousel linger in the reader s mind long after the last page is turned. It s the writing -the gorgeous, heartbreaking, lyrical writing. If I hadn t been so caught up in the story, I would have stopped again and again —just to reread the resonant, detailed, surprising, and beautiful paragraphs. (Maribeth Fischer, author of the novel The Life You Longed For)

Shamim Sharif

Carousel has everything I look for in a great novel - beautifully drawn characters that you really care about, a story that you want to follow, love, redemption and a sense of mystery at its heart. Stefani Deoul has done a fabulous job in painting the richness of a small town brought together by loss, life and love. I can't recommend it enough. Do yourself a favour and order it now.
