À propos de cet audio

 A chilling, compelling mystery from the internationally bestselling author of The Shadow of the Wind.

When fourteen-year-old Irene Sauvelle moves with her family to Cape House on the coast of Normandy, she's immediately taken by the beauty of the place--its expansive cliffs, coasts, and harbors. There, she meets a local boy named Ishmael, and the two soon fall in love. But a dark plot is about to unfold involving a reclusive toymaker who lives in a gigantic mansion filled with mechanical beings and shadows of the past.

As strange lights shine through the fog surrounding a small, barren island, Irene's younger brother dreams of a dark creature hidden deep in the forest. And when a young girl is found murdered, her body at the end of a path torn through the woods by a monstrous, inhuman force, Irene and Ishmael wonder--has a demonic presence been unleashed on the inhabitants of Cape House? Together, they'll have to survive the most terrifying summer of their lives. Fiction Horreur Romance Suspense Effrayant Fantastique Paranormal Romance paranormale

"Exciting...Plenty of thrills and chills."—Publishers Weekly
"A clever plot, sympathetic characters, and a richly detailed 1930s setting; a haunted, melancholy tone with an air of nostalgia and an atmosphere of menace."—The Horn Book

I love Carlos Ruiz Zafon. This wasn't my favorite of his children's books, but it is still darn good. He doesn't talk down to children (to the point where it kind of feels like he's writing children's books for adults?) and is able to deftly address serious subjects. And his stories are genuinely creepy, gets-under-your-skin creepy.
This one got a little weird with the automatons, but it still had real, emotional, stakes. Heartstrings were tugged.
One last comment- the idea of a 13/14 year old girl helping to keep her family afloat by selling dances to grown men was just as creepy to me as anything else in the book. Look, much respect to her for doing what she could to survive, but what grown man, soldier or not, in WWII or not, would pay to dance with a child? I mean, im sure a lot of it was perfectly innocent, but... I don't know. Casual hebophilia has popped up in several books I've read lately, and it bothers me.
