The Night Circus is an enchanting book. I bought the spanish edition for my s.o., because the story is so good! But I don't like the change of cover at all, why the english covers are always more beautiful? 馃槚
Sneak peak:
The lovers
Standing
on the platform in the midst of the crowd, high enough that they can be
viewed clearly from all the angles, are two figures, still as statues.
(...)
They stand entwined but no touching, their heads tilted toward each other. Lips frozen in the moment before (or after) the kiss.
(...)
Many
patrons only glance at them before moving on, but the longer you watch,
the more you can detect the subtlest of motions. The change in the
curve of a hand as it hovers near an arm. The shifting angle of a
perfectly balaced leg. Each of them always gravitating toward the other.
Yet still they do not touch.
Synopsis
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des R锚ves, and it is only open at night.
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: 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 them both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.
