The Circle (novel)
''The Circle'' (Swedish title ''Cirkeln'') is a Swedish young adult fantasy novel written by Mats Strandberg and Sara Bergmark Elfgren. It is the first part of the ''Engelsfors'' trilogy. The novel takes place in a fictional rural town in Bergslagen in central Sweden and follows a group of teenage girls with little in common who discover that they are witches chosen to save the world from an otherwordly evil. In addition to the fantasy theme, the novel also uses tropes of horror fiction, psychological realism and the unreliable narrator. The novel has been sold for publication in 21 different languages in addition to Swedish.〔(Release dates and publishers ), Sara Bergmark Elfgren's blog〕 Random House released the English translation in the UK on June 7, 2012, and in other English-speaking countries during the summer of 2012.〔(The Circle ), ''randomhouse.com''〕

==Plot==
The novel follows the six "chosen ones" Minoo, Rebecka, Vanessa, Anna-Karin, Ida, and Linnea, all of whom are first-year students at the same secondary school. Ida and Linnea are not featured as point of view characters in the novel for thematic and narrative purposes. The characters soon come off as unreliable narrators as their description of themselves and other characters don't match each other, such as Minoo's comments on Rebecka's beauty and Anna-Karin's on her own weight. The apparent suicide of Linnea's "brother in all but blood" Elias becomes the start of a series of strange events in the town.
