Erin Morgenstern

"The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not." So begins the beautiful journey that is The Night Circus, a tale that has utterly beguiled ... (more)the Foxes, that inspired the creation of a window display, which in turn caused the author to gasp. She did.

Please join us on Sunday, October 16th at 3 pm as we welcome to the Bookshop Erin Morgenstern, discussing and signing "The Night Circus," This is a HOT book for this fall, movie rights have already been sold. Some very important scenes in "The Night Circus" are set in Concord! The circus arrives without ... (more)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 Rêves, 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, 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 and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands. True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus per formers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.

Already being hailed as a book as magical as Harry Potter (trust us, it's better), Morgenstern's debut novel is enchanting and captivating, and equally impossible to put down. Erin is a writer and multimedia artist who describes all her work as being "fairy tales in one way or another." She lives in ... (more)Massachusetts with her husband. This is her first novel.
