Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus Comes to Book Passage

Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus is without doubt one of the most highly anticipated books of the Fall Season. Though a debut novel, it has already received many rave reviews authors whose names you may well know. Consider if you will .....

“A riveting debut. The Night Circus 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

“Erin Morgenstern is a gifted, classic storyteller, a tale-teller, a spinner of the charmed and mesmerizing — I had many other things I was supposed to be doing, but the book kept drawing me back in and I tore through it. 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

“‘Dark as soot and bright as sparks,’ The Night Circus still holds me willingly captive in a world of almost unbearable beauty. This is a love story on a grand scale: it creates, it destroys, it ultimately transcends. Take a bow, Erin Morgenstern. This is one of the best books I have ever read.”

— Brunonia Barry, author of The Lace Reader

“The Night Circus is a gorgeously imagined fable poised in the high latitudes of Hans Christian Anderson and Oscar Wilde, with a few degrees toward Hesse’s Steppenwolf for dangerous spice. The tale is masterfully written and invites allegorical interpretations even as its leisurely but persistent suspense gives it compelling charm. An enchanting read.”

— Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love

“The Night Circus made me happy. Playful and intensely imaginative, Erin Morgenstern has created the circus I have always longed for and she has populated it with dueling love-struck magicians, precocious kittens, hyper-elegant displays of beauty and complicated clocks. This is a marvelous book.”

— Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler’s Wife
