As a huge fan of Ruta Sepetys' past work, especially Salt To The Sea, I am very excited to read her new book. I am especially excited that it takes place in such an interesting and unique time period. So many historical books feature the same few events, but the Spanish Civil War is one that I have never read about before, and I am very excited to get to know about this event and how ti affected people during that time as well as the aftermath.
