“I still remember the day my father took me to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books for the first time. It was the early summer of 1945 . . . ‘Daniel, you mustn’t tell anyone what you’re about to see today,’ my father warned.” The antiquarian book dealer goes on to tell his son to choose a book, making sure that it will never disappear. Daniel so loves the novel he selects, The Shadow of the Wind by Julián Carax, that he sets out to find the author’s other works, making a shocking discovery and opening a door into one of Barcelona’s darkest secrets—an epic story of murder, magic, madness and doomed love.
“Anyone who enjoys novels that are scary, erotic, touching, tragic, and thrilling should rush right out to the nearest bookstore and pick up The Shadow of the Wind. Really, you should.”—The Washington Post
Save the date: On February 20 we will discuss Mrs. Sherlock Holmes: The True Story of New York City’s Greatest Female Detective and the 1917 Missing Girl Case That Captivated a Nation by Brad Ricca.
