Night Circus

I thought a circus environment would be an interesting venue to explore, where you didn't just have one tent with three rings and a show going on but where you could explore different things in different tents.

NIGHT CIRCUS


While at my daughter's home, she encouraged me to read a book she had just finished reading.  The book is entitled, "NIGHT CIRCUS" written by Erin Morgenstern.  It is not the type of book I would choose for my self, but I enjoyed it immensely.  It was relaxing to escape into the fantasy of a Night Circus, to use my own imagination to broaden the author's intention, and to experience a life more like a dream. 

Night Circus is not filled with clowns, animals and carnival rides.  The story focuses more on individual characters and how they expand their gifts and talents.  The author engages the young and the old into an arena of possibility where imagination allows escape from every day reality.  The fantasy triggers questions of whether or not things like this story could really exist.

Although this is a fun read, there are a few characters showing a dark side, ulterior motives, and ability to manipulate others.  So there are parallels comparable to reality.  We must stay alert, dedicated to our purpose, open to creativity, and be aware of others motivations. 

So if you are looking for an interesting escape with great character development, laced with illusions and memorable characters, Night Circus will be of interest to you!
