One of those rare novels that combine brilliant plotting with sublime writing... word of mouth alone is sure to make it a bestseller' Sunday Times

Hidden at the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the 'Cemetery of Forgotten Books', a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles. To this library a man brings his ten-year-old son, Daniel, one cold morning in 1945;. Daniel is allowed to choose one book and from the dusty shelves pulls The Shadow of the wind by Julian Carax. But as Daniel grows up, several people seem inordinately, interested in his find. What begins as a case of literary curiosity turns into a to find out the truth behind the life and death of Julian Carax and to save those he left behind.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere.
