I had read the first of the saga there several years and here I come to (re) read the 3 following. The world of Zafon is for me totally mesmerizing and I adhere completely. I get carried away by the lovable characters, mysterious, dark or cruel, I plunged headlong into the interwoven stories and History with a capital H, in which secrets are revealed (or not) as and measurement reading .... Poetry, humor, emotion and suspense await you and all within an absolutely beautiful writing. This volume suggests a suite I already look forward .... Too Cartesian minds do not be seduced by the world of Carlos Ruiz Zaffon, but the other: Go for it!
