The Night Circus

I very much enjoyed The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern which is mainly set in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  A girl, Celia, tutored by her father and a boy, Marco, tutored by a "benefactor" learn the art of magic.  When they are older Celia and Marco try to understand the reason for the tutelage.  They are the latest unwitting players in a long running "duel" between their magician teachers.  The magic night circus provides the venue for the "competition".  There are many twists and turns in this delightful story.  The teachers will stop at nothing to ensure they win, but there can only be one winner.  How will it end?  41/2/5
