The Shadow of the Wind..Part V

The next 25 pages of Zafon's novel, concentrates on Daniel's longing curiosity and determination in digging into Carax's past. This part of the book is full of mystery and tension, when Daniel decieds to take a trip to an abandon home, considered to be where Carax lived as a chilld. Daniel meets Doña Aurora, the care-taker of the building; after discussing with Daniel about Carax, Doña Aurora allows Daniel to set foot into the abandon home and tags along with him. The home has a rare and dark vibe, yet Daniel's curiosity is stronger than anything, as he is determined not to give up on finding about Carx's life. Eventhough it was asssumed that no one had set foot inside the house since the death of Carax's father, Daniel reveals otherwise after discovering recent footprints in the abandon place.

Do think that Coulbert, the shadow, is the one roaming the house? Does the possibilty that one of the characters presented up to this point might hide their identity as "Coulbert?"

Yes, i had actually considered that Coulbert was the one who visited Carax's childhood home. I believe that Coulbert is indeed someone ivolved with Carax or Carax himself.
