Come one, come all and set your preconceived notions of the Big Top aside. Competition, longing, and love fill the enchanted and beautifully descriptive pages to create “a fairy tale under a curtain of stars.” The Night Circus is filled with magical realism and non-linear narration, like the performers’ tents, that come together to create one grand illusion. I did not want to put this book down and I will soon pick it up again. –Sara

It's hard to describe this elegant book, but essentially it hinges on two magicians, a competition between a man and a woman and a fantastic circus that serves as the backdrop of this enchanting story. If you like fantasy mixed with a dollop of romance, read this book. -Louisa
