The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. The Spanish novelist adds an eclectic blend of mystery, romance, and adventure to his first "adult" novel. The Shadow of the Wind tells the story of a young boy, Daniel, who finds a long-forgotten edition of Julián Carax's novel in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a collosal library of forgotten titles preserved by a select few. He soon becomes obsessed with his search of this unknown author's life and he discovers he is not the only one seeking answers from the past.

The reader follows Daniel's journey as he learns about Carax's history, and how it is similar to his own, and how he avoids making the same mistakes.
