Product Information

THE PRISONER OF HEAVEN returns to the world of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books and the Sempere & Sons bookshop. It begins just before Christmas in Barcelona in 1957, one year after Daniel and Bea from THE SHADOW OF THE WIND have married. They now have a son, Julian, and are living with Daniel's father at Sempere & Sons. Fermin still works with them and is busy preparing for his wedding to Bernarda in the New Year. However something appears to be bothering him. Daniel is alone in the shop one morning when a mysterious figure with a pronounced limp enters. He spots one of their most precious volumes that is kept locked in a glass cabinet, a beautiful and unique illustrated edition of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. Despite the fact that the stranger seems to care little for books, he wants to buy this expensive edition. Then, to Daniel's surprise, the man inscribes the book with the words 'To Fermin Romero de Torres, who came back from the dead and who holds the key to the future'. This visit leads back to a story of imprisonment, betrayal and the return of a deadly rival...

  • An extraordinary book

    It has been beautifully translated from the Spanish. There is dark and wry humour throughout, and the plot maintains a page turning pace. It was so good, I read it twice in quick succession. It also awakened my interest in the causes of the Spanish Civil War, something I vaguely knew about, but having read this book, I needed to know more. It was a dreadful war, and civil wars are all the more terrible as they are neighbour against neighbour. The book gives you an insight into the ramifications of the suffering of the spanish who endured this period in their history. Don't get me wrong though, there are many light moments and good times had by the characters who seem very real in this book.
