Magnificent: a dizzying tale of drama, intrigue and
passion * Mail on Sunday *
A colossal, genre-crossing achievement... it is to be hoped that
Zafon's next books deal as seriously and enjoyable with the present
and future of Barcelona. * Guardian *
Moving and engaging. This is a novel to lose oneself in, and it
promotes the sort of reading experience we remember from childhood
- of complete absorption into a fantasy world * Irish Times *
Rich, ambitious storytelling. * Sunday Times *
Sprawling, seductive and hugely atmospheric * Sunday Express *
Neither too geeky nor too highbrow, Zafon's genre-mashing novels
provide a high-definition, alternative account of Spain's turbulent
20th-century history, with added Hollywood blockbuster thrills. I
was hooked. * Daily Mail *
This is a suspenseful story of loss, betrayal and redemption. *
Independent *
By the author of the brilliant Shadow of the Wind, this is a
good long read to relish on chilly winter evenings. * Saga
