Good Read!

Cover of The Shadow of the Wind

Just finished "The Shadow of the Wind". Had to reread the chunks I'd downed with a glass of wine. So much detail. Wait: when did Daniel give Clara the book? What does Nuria Montford lie about? Everyone with a secret past, or a bastard son, or a mother who lets off cataclysmic farts. Wonderful to live in this dark, mysterious Barcelona of the mind for two weeks. Sad and empty when I finished the book and fell back into the quotidian morass of life.
