Two magicians with a long-standing feud enlist their young
charges in a lifelong challenge. The two
protégés create a fantasy circus which attracts fans but threatens to
self-destruct.
#booktalk
You can tell the night circus fans by their dress: black and
white, a touch of red. They are swept
into the magic of the circus: its unique performances, unusual foods, and
otherworldly experiences unlike anything they’ve ever known. The night circus appears without warning, travels globally,
and has a cultic following mesmerized by their addictive visits. At the heart of the circus, however, is the
magic wrought by Celia and Marco, two young lovers who are also fated enemies. Will they destroy each other and the circus,
or can an ordinary fan rescue them all?
