Book Club Recommendation from Culture Correspondent Justin Bog
San Juan Islands, Washington, USA

With no further ado, I am happy to bring the news of a brand new Book Club venture to the readers of In Classic Style. Ciara Ballintyne is a fellow writer and book enthusiast, and she will tell you all about Club Fantasci. The first book the club picked to read is a very popular title around the world, Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus.

Please grab a copy, a nice glass of wine, and join the launch of Club Fantasci later in the month. Welcome news, Ciara, and thank you for sharing,

Justin

August

The Night Circus
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

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 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 per­formers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.
