'Shadow is the real deal, a novel full of cheesy splendour and creaking trapdoors, a novel where even the subplots have subplots. One gorgeous read' STEPHEN KING
'An instant classic' DAILY TELEGRAPH
The Shadow of the Wind is a stunning literary thriller in which the discovery of a forgotten book leads to a hunt for an elusive author who may or may not still be alive . . .
Hidden in the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the 'Cemetery of Lost Books', a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles that have long gone out of print. One cold morning in 1945, a man brings his 10-year-old son Daniel to this library, allowing him to choose one book from the shelves. Out he pulls 'The Shadow of the Wind' by Julian Carax.
As Daniel grows up, several people seem unusually interested in his find. Then, one night, as he is wandering the old streets once more, Daniel is approached by a figure who reminds him of a character from the book - a character who turns out to be the devil. This man is tracking down every last copy of Carax's work in order to burn them. Set among Barcelona's crumbling buildings and warren of alleyways, what begins as a case of literary curiosity turns into a race to uncover the truth behind the life and death of Julian Carax - and to save those he left behind . . .
A SUNDAY TIMES bestseller and Richard & Judy book club choice.
