HEATHER'S PICKENGLISH

Promotional Details
“Playful and intensely imaginative, Erin Morgenstern has created the circus I have always longed for . . . This is a marvelous book."
—Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler’s Wife

“A world of almost unbearable beauty. This is one of the best books I have ever read.”
—Brunonia Barry, author of The Lace Reader

Welcome to Le Cirque des Rêves: Within these nocturnal black-and-white-striped tents lies an utterly unique experience, a feast for the senses. Beyond the smoke and mirrors, however, a fierce competition is under way—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to the players, 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.

But when Celia and Marco innocently tumble head first into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands—their masters intervene with dangerous consequences.

Erin Morgenstern’s singular and spell-casting debut is a mesmerizing love story for the ages.


“A riveting debut . . . pulls you into a world as dark as it is dazzling, fully realized but still something out of a dream. You will not want to leave it.”
—Téa Obreht, author of The Tiger’s Wife

"So magical that there is no escaping its spell. If you choose to read just one novel this year, this is it."—Danielle Trussoni, author of Angelology

"Pure pleasure . . . You can be certain this riveting debut will create a group of rêveurs all its own."—Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

“A gorgeously imagined fable . . . An enchanting read.”
—Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love

Another Great Heather's Pick

"Wow! Don't worry too much about the plot. Just let yourself get carried away by her beautiful writing. Reading this was like a dream. I absolutely loved it."

KIKI7Feltham (5/5)

Pass

"Finished this only because I committed to finally finishing this after picking it up and putting it down multiple times over the past few years. There's a cast of characters and multiple settings that take place over a back and forth timeline, seemingly for no reason other than to flip flop. Makes it harder to be immersed in this story. I'd say don't bother with this one."

Is It Worth Reading? - The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

"For me, this was a such as magical novel wrirtten by a real magician. Reading ""The Night Circus"" by Erin Morgensten felt like being in a lucid dream. It is so whimsical, soft, gentle, and intriguing. The characters were unique, detailed, and so important to the story. Most of them were ambiguous, that helped made it feel 'authentic'. The people in the novel weren't purely good nor bad, it's just people made bad decision, and the actions of the characters were so believable in this dazzling world. From the first chapter, I knew I was reading a story filled with illusions, magic, and performances. Though this book isn't for everyone, as it is not fast paced, and there isn't any freaky romance action, however it is one of the most intricate books I ever read, and I highly recommend giving it a try."

Melinda (5/5)

Whimsical Tale

"Always love Erin Morgenstern story telling and this will be my favorite book of all time."

Jess (5/5)

Good world building, boring ending

"I bought this book because the description spoke to me but I feel like the book didn't really match the description. Some parts of the book were beautiful like the world building but the rest of the story and the ending just fell flat for me."

Souz (3/5)

Read this a couple

"Read this a couple of years ago and her second book. I still keep looking for her next one! You enter a circus full of intrigue and magic where the most interesting romance happens between two who change everything to be part of each other’s story. I don’t believe in telling too much. I gave my copy to my friend because I wanted to share. Now we are both hooked! Enjoy!"

Tan01 (5/5)

Beautiful book

"Have yet to read this as my physical TBR is ten stories long, but the book itself is beautiful! And I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a sucker for beautiful book covers."

Cassey (4/5)

Good read

"It was a little confusing as it just from different points of view but not directly the persons view. It was still a interesting read besides!"

Alexis (3/5)

Enjoyed it

"I've been wanting to read this for a long time and it did not disappoint!"
