The Night Circus
Erin Morgenstern, read by Jim Dale. Random House Audio, unabridged, 11 CDs, 13.5 hrs., $45 ISBN 978-0-307-93890-9
A circus—Le Cirque des Rêves—mysteriously appears at night, remains open only during hours of darkness, and then just as mysteriously disappears. But unknown to its visitors, the circus is really a venue for a dangerous game between two talented young illusionists whose magic is real. Bound to each other by their masters, Celia and Marco are forced to challenge each other to increasingly dangerous feats and displays of sorcery. But the real challenges come when respect and love blooms between them. Morgenstern’s wonderful novel is made all the more enchanting by top-notch narration from the incomparable Jim Dale. The voices he creates add depth and nuance to the book’s characters. And while some of those voices may echo his work on the Harry Potter series, they are nonetheless perfectly suited to Morgenstern’s characters. Mesmerizing from the very start, this audio version will enchant listeners. A Doubleday hardcover. (Sept.)
