Thank you Judy B. for our lovely circus evening! Starting with hot apple cider, popcorn and caramel apples and ending with caramel apple cake, ice cream and the most adorable chocolate mice! (Magical works of art!) Wished it hadn't been snowing so Debbie D. would have been able to join us. We missed you Debbie D., but understand your absence.
"The Night Circus" is an adult fantasy; an unusual story intertwining a competition with an antagonistic romance. Black versus white, dark versus light, good versus evil. The competition involves magic and your perception of reality and of time. The circus is a spectacular production that is unusual yet beautiful, provocative yet elegant. The author conjures wonderful descriptions which take you along on this dreamlike adventure. I'm sure we all would have enjoyed spending a night at Le Cirque des Reves. Several of us did feel that the story could have been edited more so it could have been enjoyed in less time (500 pages!).
When interviews about her book, author Erin Morgenstern said, "I think it's something that I knew already but explored more with these characters, that nothing is a simple as black and white, good or evil. There are all those shades of grey and everyone acts from a place that they see as right and true. (Though they are allowed to change their minds.)"
