Carlos Ruiz Zafón (25 September, 1964 – 19 June, 2020) is a Spanish author known for his The Shadow of the Wind (La sombra del viento), one of my favorite books.

The author doesn’t paint Spain with rose colored glasses, he talks about bigotry, the horrible Inquisition, commerce, and economic inequality

Daniel Sempere and his wife are content with life and baby. When a strange walks in the book shop and threatens to divulge a secret, their happiness subsides.

The story is about an author named David Martin who accepts an assignment to write a book for a very rich client.

An offer too good to be true.

The book follows a young boy named Daniel and has possibly one of the best literary inventions of the decade the “Cemetery of Forgotten Books”.
