Title: Shadow of the Wind
Review –An absolute masterpiece! A book within a book within a book…the story takes place in Barcelona during and after the second world war- but traces backwards to the nineteen teens. Sweeping, dramatic, engulfing, rich characters, magnificently written. . The work of really great writer with an excellent translation. My book of the year.
