'The novel, set in post- Spanish Civil War Barcelona, concerns a young boy, Daniel. Just after the war, Daniel's father takes him to the secret Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a huge library of old, forgotten titles lovingly preserved by a select few initiates. According to tradition, everyone initiated to this secret place is allowed to take one book from it, and must protect it for life. Daniel selects a book called The Shadow of the Wind by Julián Carax.'
Didn't bother searching for threads.
Just started in this book, and wow...its truly a work of art. The way of describing the story is genius. It wasn't meant to be a funny book, but I can't help my smiling when I'm reading. Works of art tend to do that. Agreed?
