The Shadow of the Wind (16+) (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books I)

Our Review

Anyone who reads The Shadow of the Wind for the first time knows what we are talking about. It's a book that permeates you with its mystery and enchantment, while also evoking a nostalgic and emotional memory. One of the things that best defines this work is the mist. The books take on an almost mystical dimension and envelop you in their grasp.

A father takes his son to a mysterious place: The Cemetery of Forgotten Books. The boy has the chance to choose a book, but he doesn't realize the power he holds in his hands. It is a novel full of history, mystery, and suspense, set in Barcelona in 1945.

You doubt the reality of the events, but it doesn't matter, because it is so well crafted that you can only surrender at its feet, as if a witch had created a secret potion. A must-read for all book lovers.
