About the Novel
“One morning in 1945, a boy is driven by his father to a mysterious place hidden away in the heart of the old city: The Cemetery of Lost Books. There, Daniel Sempere finds a cursed book that will change the course of his life and plunge him into a labyrinth of intrigue and secrets concealed in the dark soul of the city.
The Shadow of the Wind is a literary thriller set in Barcelona in the first half of the 20th century, from the fading splendor of Modernism to the shadowy post-war world. The Shadow of the Wind has elements of mystery, historical, and comedy of manner genres but it is most of all a tragic love story that echoes through time. With great narrative power, the author reveals plots and intrigues as though opening up a Russian doll in an unforgettable tale about the secrets of the heart and the magic of books, maintaining the mystery until the last page.”
