Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
Short enough for one sitting and that is exactly what I did, a Sunday, coffee going cold at my elbow. Gorgeous on the sentence. I didn't have the revelation and I'm fairly sure you're meant to, so, seven.

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
