Book Club : The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Laura McLellan 16/05/2021 1 Comment

The Shadow of the Wind is one of my favourite books to re-read once in a while because of the beautiful style it is written in. You probably have heard of it as by now it is a literary classic. This is good old fashion storytelling, a mysterious tale to get lost in, and has many good quotes.
