Product Description:
Barcelona, 1945—A great world city lies shrouded in secrets after the war, and a boy mourning the loss of his mother finds solace in his love for an extraordinary book called The Shadow of the Wind, by an author named Julian Carax. When the boy searches for Carax’s other books, it begins to dawn on him, to his horror, that someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book the man has ever written. Soon the boy realizes that The Shadow of the Wind is as dangerous to own as it is impossible to forget, for the mystery of its author’s identity holds the key to an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love that someone will go to any lengths to keep secret.

Carlos Luis Zafon's novel is big, gorgeous storytelling, full of passion. The many characters have fascinating backstories that intertwine in unexpected ways, resulting ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Utterly Amazing Book!
It is not very often that you can read something and believe it to be a completely original concept - until now. Fabulously written. Truly a "must read".
