Barcelona-themed Books

Blustery winter weather has left me dreaming of exotic locales. To combat my wanderlust, I recently read two fiction novels set in a city I have always wanted to visit – Barcelona.

 Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon is a  20^th century tale of murder, mystery, madness, and doomed love.  Cathedral of the Sea by Ildefonso Falcones  is a captivatingly rich story again centered in Barcelona, but the time period is the 14^th century and the Inquisition is casting a dark shadow over Spain.  Friendship, revenge, love and war are the themes in this absorbing novel.
