The amazing storyteller

I have just finished my second Carlos Ruiz Zafon book!  I read his The Shadow of the Wind, beautifully translated into English from Spanish a few years ago, the book made a strong impression, specifically due to the way he use the language but indeed also I loved his characters and their stories:
