A story within a story about the wonder and love of books and authors and the adventure they bring to us. Described as bewitching, enchanting, hilarious, and heartbreaking- one gorgeous read.
Very interesting! A bit slow at first with the build up and details but the author really ties everything together in the end beautifully!
Wow! "An uncannily absorbing historical mystery, a heart-piercing romance, and a moving homage to the mystical power of books, The Shadow of the Wind is a triumph of the storyteller's art." I couldn't agree more!
The book was recommended to me by my daughter. The first few chapters were a bit slow. But after that I could not put it down. These are serious heavy books, one has to pay attention while reading or listening.
It’s a story of Daniel Sempere a 10 year old boy whose story is told in 4 books as he grows to adulthood.
It’s a dark gothic mystery about Barcelona in the 1930’s. The story and characters are developed with remarkable detail. The author’s flair for writing is beautiful and fluid.
There are 4 books in the series. I read and listened to 3 in a month and now finishing up the 4th and I don’t want it to end.
If you are looking for something new from the ordinary, pick this book up, I guarantee you, you’ll not be disappointed.
I enjoyed it even more because we had spent a week in Barcelona and while reading I recognized some of the places mentioned in the book.
I truly enjoyed all the books and am depressed now that this author won’t be writing anymore books. He’s a phenomenal writer.
Hope you pick up the book.
