Things seem clearer in the silver light of the extraordinary - Harlan Ellison

by Carlos Ruiz Zafón - What a treat. Again, Barcelona is the backdrop for a midCentury gothic tale that has all the right ingredients - a Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a back drop of revolution and turmoil, love doomed and love found, mysterious old ruins, strangers that steal and burn books, a blind temptress, a cursed heroine and a hero that comes of age.

So pleased with this - slow going at first, but I devoured the last 1/3 on the way home from Colorado.
cannot WAIT for the prequel coming out in English in a few weeks.

Such a treat.
Good year for quality...
