May 2010 Book of the Month.
The Shadow of the Wind is one of those rare books that continues to deeply affect you long after it is read. This second masterpiece is connected but stands apart. A twisting and mysterious tale of love, despair, compulsion and the supernatural that spins you along with it until you don’t want it to end. Read every word, savour it, for books this good are rare and precious things.
Comparison: Glen David Gold (Sunnyside), Alex Bell (The Ninth Circle), Markus Zusak (Book Thief).
In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man - David Martin - makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books, and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city's underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house are letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner.
