THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Magnificent: a dizzying tale of drama, intrigue and passion' MAIL ON SUNDAY

'A colossal, genre-crossing achievement' GUARDIAN

As a child, Daniel Sempere discovered among the passageways of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books an extraordinary novel that would change the course of his life. Now a young man in the Barcelona of the late 1950s, Daniel runs the Sempere & Sons bookshop and enjoys a seemingly fulfilling life with his loving wife and son. Yet the mystery surrounding the death of his mother continues to plague his soul.

Just when Daniel believes he is close to solving this enigma, a conspiracy more sinister than he could have imagined spreads its tentacles from the hellish Franco regime. That is when Alicia Gris appears, a soul born out of the nightmare of the war. She is the one who will lead Daniel to the edge of the abyss and reveal the secret history of his family, although at a terrifying price.

This is a suspenseful story of loss, betrayal and redemption Independent
By the author of the brilliant Shadow of the Wind, this is a good long read to relish on chilly winter evenings. Saga
