Synopsis

From the author of the international phenomenon The Shadow of the Wind comes a riveting new masterpiece about love, literature, and betrayal.
In this powerful, labyrinthian thriller, David Martín is a pulp fiction writer struggling to stay afloat. Holed up in a haunting abandoned mansion in the heart of Barcelona, he furiously taps out story after story, becoming increasingly desperate and frustrated; thus, when he is approached by a mysterious publisher offering a book deal that seems almost too good to be real, David leaps at the chance. But as he begins the work, and after a visit to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, he realizes there is a connection between his book and the shadows that surround his dilapidated home and that the publisher may be hiding a few troubling secrets of his own. Once again, Ruiz Zafón ventures into a dark, gothic Barcelona and creates a breathtaking tale of intrigue, romance, and tragedy.

This is book #2 of “The Cemetery for Forgotten Books” series. The English editions of Zafon’s work are translations from his original Spanish writings, but the beautiful and elegant writing style remains intact. Full of mystery and suspense, this is a gothic fiction book that far exceeded my expectations. I’ve read many great books over the years but this one has gained a loyal spot in my top favorites of all time.

The Cemetery of Forgotten Books” by Carlos Ruiz Zafon is one of my favorite book series of all time!⁣⁣

PS. Alan agrees! I loves this series too.
