Publisher's summary

As a child, Daniel Sempere discovered among the passageways of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books an extraordinary novel that would change the course of his life. Now a young man in the Barcelona of the late 1950s, Daniel runs the Sempere & Sons bookshop and enjoys a seemingly fulfilling life with his loving wife and son. Yet the mystery surrounding the death of his mother continues to plague his soul despite the moving efforts of his wife Bea and his faithful friend Fermín to save him.
Just when Daniel believes he is close to solving this enigma, a conspiracy more sinister than he could have imagined spreads its tentacles from the hellish regime. That is when Alicia Gris appears, a soul born out of the nightmare of the war. She is the one who will lead Daniel to the edge of the abyss and reveal the secret history of his family, although at a terrifying price.
The Labyrinth of the Spirits is an electrifying tale of passion, intrigue and adventure. Within its haunting pages Carlos Ruiz Zafón masterfully weaves together plots and subplots in an intricate and intensely imagined homage to books, the art of storytelling and that magical bridge between literature and our lives.

Everything was perfect

Loved it so much. Loved this story. The narrator made it so good. Changing his voice for each character I d forget it was the same person. Fermin was perfect just the funny guy I had imagined

Pulled in, entranced, wrung out and uplifted

This performance brought to life the magnificent word pictures that Ruiz Zafon creates. At times horrifying, laugh out love funny (who doesn’t love Fermin?) and achingly beautifully written. A big fan of this series, which I have in hard copy as well, an even bigger fan of the theatre of this reading.

Glorious Masterpiece

This series is a masterpiece. A great literary achievement. It changed my life. I will return to it again and again to learn its secrets. I love the characters, the setting, and the very words everything is built on.

enter into a wonderful world

Loved it.
Great characters and a story that twist and tuns in a world full of love and danger.

Buena historia, demasiado larga

En general es un libro recomendable. Podría sin embargo haberse contado la misma historia con la mitad de páginas, sobran muchas partes de relleno
