Hough's wit-studded novel recounts the fantastic life the greatest female tiger trainer in history. In the 1910s and '20s, she was the superstar of the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus, and one of America's most eccentric celebrities. A tiny, curvaceous Kentucky blonde in a white leather bodysuit, Mabel was brazen, sexually adventurous, and suicidally courageous. In 1968, Mabel is nursing her most serious mauling yet, and just turning eighty. Devastated by the loss of her cats, she looks back on her life and her husbands (the fifth one of which was mauled to death by her one true love, her tiger Rajah). Starting with her escape from a mental institution, The Final Confession of Mabel Stark is a brilliant, exhilarating story of an America before television and movies, when the spectacle of the circus reigned and an unlikely woman captured the public imagination with her singular charm and audacity.
