THE NIGHT CIRCUS
Genre: Fantasy
Published: 2011
Call No. : MOR
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway - a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love. True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.
“Haunts and bewitches on every page... a showstopper”

The Night Circus is an amazing book that has created a wondrous and mysterious world with Morgenstern’s exquisite writing, and is a great book to just dive in and seek an escapade, exploring the beautiful Le Cirque des Rêves.
