Here we go with another absolutely fantastic historical fiction by Ruta Sepetys. This one involves love, heartbreak, family drama, political turmoil, and the uplifting presence of hope. This story is set during the the late 1950's in Spain, which is under General Franciso Franco. This is a time period that, before reading this book, I did not know much about. It is a fascinating time period, and it was amazing to read about what the characters had to live through and endure under the rule of the evil General. It is made all the more fascinating knowing that this book is based on real historical events. I really loved the two main characters, Daniel and Ana. I was rooting for them throughout the whole book because they felt so real. Ruta Sepetys is an amazing book and this one may just be her best one yet!
