A review by melodramae
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

5.0

If I could, I would give this book a hundred stars. Definitely a new favourite of mine.

“...until that moment I had not understood that this was a story about lonely people, about absence and loss, and that that was why I had taken refuge in it until it became confused with my own life, like someone who has escaped into the pages of a novel because those whom he needs to love seem nothing more than ghosts inhabiting the mind of a stranger.”
