Any time I read a historical fiction that leads me down a rabbit hole of research about a certain time period, I know the book did its job!
The Fountains of Silence takes us to Spain under the rule of Francisco Franco after the Spanish Civil War. I was completely wrapped up in the setting and characters. Although, the middle of the book dragged a little too much for me, the masterful story telling of Ruta Sepetys had me pushing through.
I was intrigued with each character and storyline. I loved that each storyline showed a different aspect of this time period and the oppression the Spaniards faced under Francisco Franco's rule. It is a shame that this book is the reason I have heard of him.
Overall, this book was fantastic and now I will be reading all of this authors works!
