You've read THE SHADOW OF THE WIND - now read what happens next ... Includes Reading Group Notes.
CARLOS RUIZ ZAFÓN (1964-2020) was the author of eight novels,
including the internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed
Cemetery of Forgotten Books series: THE SHADOW OF THE WIND, THE
ANGEL'S GAME, THE PRISONER OF HEAVEN and THE LABYRINTH OF THE
SPIRITS.
His work, which also includes prizewinning young adult novels, has
been translated into more than fifty languages and published around
the world, garnering numerous awards and reaching millions of
readers.
Zafón combines sincere engagement with genre tradition, with clever
touches of the literary post-modern . . . This is explicitly, and
joyously, a book about books, about what can be learned from them
and what is lost when they are lost
*Guardian*
Full of stylish writing, Gothic atmosphere and love letters to
19th-century novels
*Washington Post*
The story has heart, menace, torture, kindness, cruelty, sacrifice,
and a deep devotion to what makes humans tick . . . The Prisoner of
Heaven moves like a bullet train. There are few stops along the
way, and the end of one section jumps headfirst into the next,
leaving you no choice but to leap and not stop running
*New York Journal of Books*
The Prisoner of Heaven is the third part of the story and, like the
first, is narrated by Daniel Sempere. But it too contains stories
within stories, and the real narrative here belongs to the
irrepressible Fermín Romero de Torres . . . Zafón's characters and
dialogue are as lively and full-blooded as ever
*Observer*
There is an air of magical realism to Zafón's tales. The prose is
robust and the dialogue rich with smart irony. But mostly, reading
Zafón is great fun
*Miami Herald*
A deep and mysterious novel full of people that feel real . . .
This is an enthralling read and a must-have for your library. Zafón
focusses on the emotion of the reader and doesn't let go
*Seattle Post-Intelligencer*
Carlos Ruiz Zafon's writing is atmospheric, descriptive and totally
compelling. His words draw such solid pictures in the head of the
reader that the sounds, sights and smells of underground Barcelona
jump from the page.
*NEWBOOKS magazine*
This wonderfully atmospheric, historical mystery is an adventure
story of the highest class - fast paced and stylishly written.
