Description
Book SynopsisThe circus arrives without warning. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. The black sign, painted in white letters that hangs upon the gates, reads: Opens at Nightfall Closes at Dawn. When the tents are all aglow, the sign appears. Le Cirque des Reves The Circus of Dreams. Now the circus is open. Now you may enter.
Trade ReviewThe Night Circus made me happy. Playful and intensely imaginative, Erin Morgenstern has created the circus I have always longed for.
This is a marvelous bookEnchanting, and affecting... A strikingly beautiful world, in spite of its darkness * Guardian *
Dazzling * Marie Claire *
Deliciously inventive... Don't imagine this is a light, frothy tale. For all her humorous touches, Morgernstern...has produced something darker than night * Scotsman *
The only response to this novel is simply: wow. It is a breathtaking feat of imagination, a flight of fancy that pulls you in and wraps you up in its spell * The Times *
Charming, magical, mysterious,
enthralling * Daily Mirror *
Lushly imagined, extremely charming and very, very readable * Scotland on Sunday *
Morgenstern displays a conjurer's dexterity as she develops her tale, and you'd need a heart of stone not to melt at the melodramatic denouement * Daily Mail *
The Night Circus pulls you into a world as dark as it is dazzling, fully-realized but still something out of a dream. You will not want to leave it
Pure pleasure... Erin Morgenstern is a gifted, classic storyteller, a tale-teller, a spinner of the charmed and mesmerizing - I had many other things I was supposed to be doing, but the book kept drawing me back in and I tore through it. You can be certain this riveting debut will create a group of
rêveurs all its own
