In 1886, a mysterious travelling circus becomes an international sensation. Open only at night, constructed entirely in black and white, Le Cirque des Reves 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 reveurs - 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-siecle 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. The Starless Sea, the magical second novel from the author of the The Night Circus, is available for pre-order now

I have been an avid reader for over 50 years. Out of the hundreds of books that I've held in my hands, I don't think that I've read a more imaginative and enchanting novel than The Night Circus. Each character is wonderfully wrought. The sub-plots magically intertwine. The ending is perfect, sublime. I will never forget the opening sentence--'The circus arrives without warning.' Oh, yes!
Since I was fortunate enough to find the book, I have given numerous copies as gifts and have recommended it to every fiction reader that I know.
I definitely recommend that you find The Night Circus as soon as possible. You will be delighted and enraptured, I guarantee.

One of THE best books!
The prose is delicious; written with such a command of the craft of story telling. The plot is magickal, intriguing and hypnotic. One of the best stories I have read in a long long time.
