The Night Circus
Summary
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 both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.
Has anyone ever read this book? I loved it. The story is creative and enchanting. Every character was interesting to read about. I enjoyed how the chapters were short, jumped to different points in time, and showed different points of view. The book was written in a poetic way, and the descriptions of the circus made me able to picture everything in my head. I read there's already a script being written. I can't wait to see this on the big screen because it will be really pretty to see.
