Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and Daniel, an antiquarian book dealer’s son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julián Carax. But when he sets out to find the author’s other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax’s books in existence. Soon Daniel’s seemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelona’s darkest secrets--an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love.


Becky Great book choice! I loved this book when I read it. Enjoy!


Jan W. Mc I have had this book for years, but haven't read it. I believe I began it, but was distracted. I've heard only great reviews for it.


Jan W. Mc Such beautifully written prose! It reads like poetry.


Jan W. Mc Is anyone else reading this book? I'm having trouble connecting with the characters.
