From the bestselling author of THE SHADOW OF THE WIND comes a haunting gothic mystery - now an international BookTok sensation
The novel Carlos Ruiz Zafon wrote just before }The Shadow Of The Wind{; a cult classic in his native Spain. 15-year-old Oscar and portrait painter's daughter, Maria, finds themselves on a journey that will take them to the heights of a forgotten, post-war Barcelona, a world of aristocrats and actresses, inventors and tycoons, and a dark secret lies waiting in the mysterious labyrinth beneath the city streets
Packed with every Gothic excess - freak-show photography, severed artificial hands, even evil butterflies - but Oscar's growing infatuation gives it depth and unity
