Reader’s Note
9 out of 10
Read this on the balcony in September with a beer — it wanted beer, not wine. Two broke kids and one hotel room and I believed every word. The bit where they decide who works and who makes art broke me.

The Shadow of the Wind reviewed by @pageandvine
Barcelona, rain, a bookshop, a cemetery of forgotten books — it is exactly as delicious as that sounds and about a chapter too pleased with itself. Winter, heating right up, hot chocolate, which is the correct way to take it.8 out of 10The Shadow of the Wind
