The Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

This book was recommended to me at a recent Christmas party. The individual, Susan, who I had never met before, was well read and enjoyed the books that I enjoyed, so when she kept coming back to this title, I had to check it out.

It's different, but I'm enjoying it. It reminds me a bit of Her Fearful Symmetry by Niffenegger with the dark characters and old city landscape. It's a bit of historical fiction, a bit of a mystery. I'm on page 130 so I had better pick up the pace. Vacation will be over before I know it!
