I don’t if this question goes to suggestmeabook, but I wanted to ask if the shadow of the wind is sexist? I bought the book thinking it was historical fiction and really well written, but some friends have said to me how Daniel and the author have portrayed Clara really unfair, and how the woman are stereotypes, while others have defend it as something that is truthful to the Barcelona of that time, and that the female characters are strong, independent as also complex, or limited by an unreliable narrator. Is it badly written, or just something that should be respected as is of another time, or some unreliable narration?

Shadow of the Wind and Water for Elephants are the two novels that I have recommended the most in life. They ever fail to meet with approval.
I hated this book🤣The way the author describes stuff is so obnoxious and over the top. I didn’t finish… someone at my local bookstore recommended it & said it was his favorite book of all time… different strokes I suppose haha
I loved it back in the day but that was a long time ago. Not sure how it has aged. It seems to continue to be highly thought of though
