From the back of the book:
Hidden in the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the 'Cemetery of Forgotten Books', a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles. To this library, a man brings his ten-year-old son, Daniel, one cold morning in 1945. Daniel is allowed to choose one book and from the dusty shelves pulls The Shadow of the Wind by Julian Carax. But as Daniel grows up, several people seem inordinately interested in his find. What begins as a case of literary curiousity turns into a race to find out the truth behind the life and death of Julian Carax and to save those he left behind.

This was an interesting whodunnit by an author I've never read before.
I'd like to keep this book but people may borrow it if they look after it and return it to me afterwards :)
