The Night Circus is Ms. Morgenstern’s debut novel. Since its publication in September, 2011, it has received numerous critical acclamations and has spawned fan clubs the world over. Here’s a taste from Erin Morgenstern’s website:

It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

Behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco. 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…

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.
