Shadow of the wind p.150-175

Daniel returns to the shop and finds out that his father has continued his errands of delivering the books to the customers. Later he meets Merciditas, a patron whom his father has grown fond of, and new debater against Fermin. Suddenly a brutal act of violence surfaces and the reader meets inspector Fumero. Fumero is a governmental official known for brutally attacking "non-conformist"/abstract individuals through malicious violence. Then Daniel visits Nurma and spontaneously falls for her. Nurma tells Daniel that the publisher would be the best person to consult to find out information about Julian. Also, Nurma informs Daniel that she never had an intimate relationship with Julian because he was always living in his novels. With this fact, Daniel realizes that the person who wanted to completely extinguish Carax has to rid of all his works because of all the bibliographical information he embedded his stories in their with.

Why does Daniel always fall for every female protagonist in the novel?

maybe there are more women, but they are not mentioned because he has no ties to them? I dont know; it might even be that he is out of control and is excited by any woman who talks to him

i think it's because he's a normal teenage boy. every attractive girl he sees he likes. as for the girls being the protagnaist, that's something the author put together to make the plot of the book better.
