A review by laurenceaa
Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, François Maspero
5.0
What a completely beautiful and enchanting novel. I’ve never really read anything ‘gothic’ to be honest, but I had read Zafon’s ‘Shadow of the Wind’ (also an incredible read)…

Marina was not what I expected at all, and not in a bad way! I loved how there were parts in the book to keep your heart racing, parts where a beautiful friendship and romance is blessing and parts in which your heart just wants to break.

I highly recommend this book as a summer holiday read, it’s gripping and a really beautiful story.
