The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
4.0
“Few things leave a deeper mark on the reader, than the first book that finds its way to his heart.”
Barcelona, 1945. Daniel Sempere comes across a book on his eleventh birthday. Upon reading the novel, Daniel is so intrigued by the beauty of this "forgotten" book that he goes about on a search for any other works of the same author: a mysterious character called Julián Carax. It is then that he discovers that Carax's books have been fast disappearing from the face of the earth, as if someone was destroying every single copy with the name of Julián Carax attached to it.
The Shadow of the Wind is a dark, mystery novel where there's secrets in every corner and grief, anger and vengeance in every other page. A 21st century masterpiece of gothic fiction.
