Has anyone read this book yet? The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I love the cover!! The black and white stripes with the wee bit of red. and well, circus! who could pass up a circus.
And the writing is amazing..... just take a read!
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—a deep, magical love that makes the
lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush
hands.
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.
and this magical video!
Let me know if you have, I think this will be my next book to read!
