Dear friend, you must love this book as much as I do!
I think this book can be compared with Norwegian Wood. I just like it and read it over and over again. Saphon is one of my top ten favorite writers, including Liang Yusheng, Shi Naian, Jin Yong, Saphon, The Master of Huanzhu Tower, Haruki Murakami, Leo Tolstoy, Flaubert, Maupassant, and Wang Huo. Stories are written by people, and some writers will mix their own experiences, emotions, and melancholy into them, making people read them with gusto. I think the novel The Shadow of the Wind is unique. Its existence makes me know that a book can affect everyone's thoughts and even life. We should use a grateful attitude to thank Saphon for writing this great work.
