Publisher's Summary

Telling her tale with all the attention to detail that has led fans to compare her to such literary greats as H. G. Wells, Erin Morgenstern's world is as dark and thrilling as it is monochromatic.

Longlisted for the 2012 Orange Prize for Fiction.

In 1886, a mysterious travelling circus becomes an international sensation. Open only at night, constructed entirely in black and white, Le Cirque des Rêves delights all who wander its circular paths and warm themselves at its bonfire. Although there are acrobats, fortune-tellers, and contortionists, the Circus of Dreams is no conventional spectacle. Some tents contain clouds, some ice. The circus seems almost to cast a spell over its aficionados, who call themselves the rêveurs - the dreamers.

At the heart of the story is the tangled relationship between two young magicians, Celia, the enchanter’s daughter, and Marco, the sorcerer’s apprentice. At the behest of their shadowy masters, they find themselves locked in a deadly contest, forced to test the very limits of the imagination, and of their love.... 

A fabulous, fin-de-siècle feast for the senses and a life-affirming love story, The Night Circus is a captivating novel that will make the real world seem fantastical and a fantasy world real.

A book with an actual story!

Loved this book so much and the ending made me cry. Many books these days just miss out on the plot and keep twisting and turning till we reach to an anti climax. Or they just try to insert explicit details just to get the readers interested.
Not with this book. Never a dull moment, it always kept me intrigued from the start to the finish.
Each turn, it had such a variety of emotions that the ending felt like a bittersweet goodbye.

All in all, if you want a bit of mystery, magic, romance or a concoction of it all, this is one fine book to listen to.

Do give it a try :)

Takes you there

Even though the narrative style is unconventional, it creates a world in three-dimension better than any other fantasy book. Well-written and worth listening to.

Hoping for an adaptation

Oh I hope an animation studio picks it up. I would love to see this as a movie. Kind of like Howl's moving castle.

A novel classic

written in the 21st century I didn't think much of it in the classical sense but it's a great book all the way through.

One of the best fantasy fictions I have ever read

One of the best fantasy fictions I have ever read! The story building, narration and characters are superbly described. Despite being a stand alone fantasy book (which I think is quite rare), it ties up very nicely at the end. Even if the author decides to write sequels, which I hope she does, there's a ton of stories to pick up.
This review is incomplete without giving due credit to Jim Dale's endearing voice which made this book even better!
Note: I believe Name of the Wind fans would like the book

A Magical Reverie

I find it in my heart words falling short in describing the brilliance and the beauty of the writing. The narration was aptly carried. I walk away from this book mesmerised, it's essence engraving within me.
