I read this September 2013
It was bought for me by my friend's husband as he had read it and enjoyed it and saw a copy when we were out so got it for me.
This is one of those books with two stories set at different times but 'in parallel, one reflecting the other. The tale is told through stories written by various different characters.
Set against the backdrop of Spain after the Civil War. Set in Barcelona. It contains love, thrills and violence in equal measure. The author takes us form a time when his bookseller father takes him to a the 'Cemetery of Forgotten Books' where he finds a book , The Shadow of the Wind, which sets the whle storry going...there ha been someone buying and destroying them...very sinister.
I enjoyed this book
8/10
