Reviews
Zafón is a master storyteller, combining the postmodern and the traditional in an enchanting hymn to literature... Magnificent: a dizzying tale of drama, intrigue and passion * Mail on Sunday * A colossal, genre-crossing achievement... it is to be hoped that Zafon's next books deal as seriously and enjoyable with the present and future of Barcelona. * Guardian * Moving and engaging. This is a novel to lose oneself in, and it promotes the sort of reading experience we remember from childhood - of complete absorption into a fantasy world * Irish Times * Rich, ambitious storytelling. * Sunday Times * Sprawling, seductive and hugely atmospheric * Sunday Express * Neither too geeky nor too highbrow, Zafon's genre-mashing novels provide a high-definition, alternative account of Spain's turbulent 20th-century history, with added Hollywood blockbuster thrills. I was hooked. * Daily Mail * This is a suspenseful story of loss, betrayal and redemption. * Independent * By the author of the brilliant Shadow of the Wind, this is a good long read to relish on chilly winter evenings. * Saga *

Set in the 1950s, Daniel is trying to unravel the mystery of his mother's death. * GOOD HOUSEKEEPING *
