The next Book Club meeting is Tuesday 19 December, 8pm at MAP, and the book we’ll be discussing is

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

Intertwining playful detective caper, compelling political thriller and sweeping historical romance, the narrative coils back beyond the savagery of the civil war to the world of the tainted Spanish aristocracy, before slowly unravelling the dark secrets born of Franco’s tyranny. Zafon’s novel… leave the reader with a palpable sense of enchantment. (SUNDAY TIMES)
