Hi TOE,
"Child 44" is excellent and does a wonderful job of conveying the paranoia and terror of the Soviet regime under Stalin. I honestly couldn't put it down, it's one of those books where you miss your train stop because you've got your nose so buried in it.
Only just started "The Shadow of the Wind" but it's so intriguing and the writing is really beautiful - also testament to Lucia Graves (Robert Graves' daughter) who translated it.
Definitely put either of these at the top of your next to read list.
Thank you for the information, Child 44 just moved up a few more notches.
