Ruta Sepetys is one of my all time favorite authors, so I've been highly anticipating the release of this book since it was announced. I absolutely adore how she focuses on historical events/social issues of the time and presents them in a way that's interesting to a wide audience.
Of course, The Fountains of Silence did just that. This time, we've been taken back to Madrid of the past. Without spoiling anything, I would like to admit that I was ignorant of a lot of the issues she brings to light in this book.
I think this book would be a great addition to any school's library. So little is taught of these important issues via the public education system. Sepetys' books are really eye opening and a pleasure to read.
