Synopsis

An atmospheric young adult novel from bestselling The Shadow of the Wind author Carlos Ruiz Zafón, translated from the original Spanish by acclaimed translator Lucia Graves. It's wartime, and the Carver family decides to leave the capital where they live and move to a small coastal village where they've recently bought a home. But from the minute they cross the threshold, strange things start to happen. In that mysterious house still lurks the spirit of Jacob, the previous owners' son, who died by drowning. With the help of their new friend Roland, Max and Alicia Carver begin to explore the strange circumstances of that death and discover the existence of a mysterious being called the Prince of Mist—a diabolical character who has returned from the shadows to collect on a debt from the past. Soon the three friends find themselves caught up in an adventure of sunken ships and an enchanted stone garden—an adventure that will change their lives forever.

Por fin me estreno con Zafón y he quedado muy contenta con el resultado final. Ha sido una lectura emocionante.

Lo que sí podí......more

Goodreads review by Blair on July 09, 2015

The latest of Carlos Ruiz Zafón's works to be translated into English is also the first book the author had published.
