Book Review: The Night Circus By Erin Mortenstern
Have you ever dreamed about the romantic life of the circus? The Night
Circus, Mortenstern’s debut novel, evolves into a fantastical love story set at the turn of the 19th century transporting the reader across the boundaries of what is real and what is not. Open sundown until dawn, Le Cirque des Rê ves, the circus of dreams, is the arena for a deadly competition where the two players ultimately fall in love. The love story continues with a young boy, the “rê veurs” and a set of twins born into the circus revealing the narrator’s and the author’s love for the magical circus of which is here one day and gone the next off to another destination unknown. The sensational imagery depicted makes great fodder for a movie now in the making, although a release date has not been set. Join the “rê veurs” on a wondrous dream journey of a lifetime with The Night Circus.
