InQ Episode 69: "The Night Circus"

In her first novel, Erin Morgenstern takes her reader to a
magical place; a circus only opened at night. There the spectator
encounters tents after tents of unimaginable goodies, spectacles
of light, mirror effects, illusionists, kitten shows and
everything that makes a circus what a circus is.


However, the circus is there for a darker purpose; Celia and
Marco are to battle each other to the last person standing. Who
will win? That is the question. But they are nothing but puppets
in the hand of sinister beings who challenge each other using
young unaware pupils. Why? This is what we venture to find out,
along with the outcome of the challenge.


This is a fun first novel, different and interesting. Set in 19th
century, the “reveurs” among us will appreciate being thrown in a
world where imagination stands at the center.
