Shadow of the Wind
I had never heard of it so I looked it up and my library has six copies of it and it is a book group selection if that tells you anything. After I read Just the way It Is by Annie Proulx. (Wyoming stories) and I just picked up The Road by Cormac McCarathy, I might try it. I liked a couple of the McCarthy novels but had trouble with all the Spanish expressions and sentences he used as I do not understand that language. Usually you can pick up the idea when authors do that but he would write whole paragraphs in Spanish and this bothered me. I hope he doesn’t do that with The Road.
