Publisher Description
Beyond the gates of Le Cirque des Rêves, the ordinary world falls away.
The circus arrives without warning. Yesterday it was not there. Today, beneath the grey sky, its towering tents are striped in black and white.
A sign hanging upon the iron gates reads:
Opens at Nightfall
Closes at Dawn
As dusk deepens, tiny lights begin to flicker across the tents until the whole circus seems covered in fireflies. Then another sign lights up: Le Cirque des Rêves. The Circus of Dreams. The gates shudder, unlock and swing open.
Now the circus is open. Now you may enter.
The Night Circus is an enchanting fantasy novel about magic, performance, wonder and illusion. Richly visual and atmospheric, Erin Morgenstern’s world of black-and-white tents invites readers into a dreamlike circus where every act offers a different kind of marvel.
A magical fantasy for readers drawn to mystery, spectacle and stories that unfold after dark.
Customer Reviews
A wondrous story that takes you on a shared journey.
I loved the beautiful storytelling that kept me captivated throughout the book. At times I did find that I had to really concentrate to imagine some of the more intricately described props but all in all, this is a stunning story of love and live.
I loved the small chapters, peppered through the book that involved the reader as a visitor to the circus.
