Monday mood: still lost in the pages of this dreamy weekend read ✨

As children, Noon and Munro grew up listening to stories from Munro’s grandmother and arguing over their favourites. But then they discovered the Spectacular, a mysterious, ever-changing festival glittering with everything lost: forgotten ballets, texts from the Library of Alexandria, unfinished first drafts and shipwrecks.

Now, as adults, the two chase each other through the pages of the stories that shaped them - leaping through classic literature and famous paintings and private letters and family dinners - until all that’s left is to confront the legacy of this wonderous festival and face the grief they’ve been running from... and decide whether they might face it together, instead.

A love letter to bibliophiles and an ode to the magic of books, Zoé Duhaime's fantasy debut is perfect for lovers of The Night Circus and The Midnight Library. Pre-order now! 🎪
