This is my favourite book without a doubt. I was captivated by the time I had read the name of the first chapter 'The Cemetery of Forgotten Books'.
The novel tells the tale of another book called 'The Shadow of the Wind' and a boy named Daniel who upon reading the book is drawn to the mystery of the author, Julian Carax. Upon searching for more of Carax's books Daniel can find none. The only clue left behind them is a man who has named himself Lain Coubert after a character from one of the books who happens to be the devil. Daniel enters dangerous situations and trails the mystery in the search of the elusive author.
There is romance and tension in this spine tingling thriller. This book is all about the chase and the search, which sews together a beautiful texture of characters and unpeels the lies of a post - spanish civil war society.
