About the Cemetery Of Forgotten Books series
Carlos Ruiz Zafón's Cemetery of Forgotten Books is a spellbinding gothic quartet set in the shadowed, atmospheric Barcelona of the 20th century. It opens with the international bestseller "The Shadow of the Wind," in which a boy chooses a single book from a secret labyrinthine library — and is drawn into a decades-old mystery of love, obsession and a sinister figure bent on destroying every copy of that book's author.
Zafón writes intoxicating literary mystery: a city of secrets, doomed romance, and stories within stories, all soaked in post-war melancholy and gothic dread. It's a series that makes readers fall in love with reading itself.
The four books interlock and can be read in different orders, but "The Shadow of the Wind" is the essential, magical starting point.
