ABOUT THE BOOK

This wonderful page-turning literary detective story is set in the heart of the old city of Barcelona in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War.

At 10 years old, Daniel Sempere is taken to the ‘Cemetery of Forgotten Books’, a library of obscure and forgotten titles that have long gone out of print. It is here that Daniel is allowed to choose one book to keep. The book, La Sombra del Viento (The Shadow of the Wind), initially seems a charming find yet in later years becomes a devilish curse.

The Shadow of the Wind is an exploration of obsession in literature and love, and the places that obsession can lead.

	NATIONAL LIBRARY FOR THE BLIND
	Imagine not being able to get hold of the book all your friends are saying you must read. Newspapers, magazines and TV shows are telling you it’s one of the best books they’ve ever read, but you can’t read it, let alone express your views or vote for it. Thankfully that is not the case with Richard & Judy’s Best Read! Once again, the National Library for the Blind (NLB) has worked closely alongside Richard & Judy to make sure blind people can take part in the Best Read and is producing the short-listed books in Braille to sit alongside each book club programme. Find out more information on buying or borrowing these books, and more information about NLB here...
