The Shadow of the Wind
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
Daniel Sempere is 10 years old when he is given a copy of a novel, The Shadow of the Wind, by Julián Carax. As Daniel begins investigating the life and death of Carax he is drawn deeper and deeper into a wild, dark and gothic tale of love, murder and betrayal where the city of Barcelona is but one of the fascinating cast of characters with secrets to hide.

"Like many who turned their backs on convention, who scorned the white picket fence, white bread and dead white male view of the world in favour of exotic gurus with drug-enhanced visions, Hughes has become a significant conservative voice in the world.

Many radicals took the same path as the scent of patchouli oil faded, the mirrored dresses tarnished and the drugs wore off. Those who try to revive the Sixties today should be viewed through the lens of Hughes' sobering reminder of the ugly realities of the counter-culture."
