Fountains of Silence is an amazing work of historical fiction. It's been highlighted as a selection by Book of the Month. While it's technically a young adult book, it's certain to be engaging to a diverse audience.
Set in 1957 Madrid as it was under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, there are two Spains. There's the Spain on display to tourists and the oppressive regime its citizens face.
When Daniel Matheson's life converges with Ana's he will learn much more about his family's heritage, his photography, the dichotomy between wealth and poverty, and the power of love.
While this is my first book by Ruta Sepetys, it certainly will not be the last one I read by this fantastic author.
