Ruta Sepetys is one of those authors that I will automatically read their new books because of how much I love their previous work. In The Fountains of Silence I loved reading about a different part of history that she hadn't written about before. I find myself not only reading a beautiful story with characters you can't help but root for, but also learning things about a lesser known time in history. I liked the differences in Daniel and Ana's perspectives. It was really cool to see Spain from the eyes of a person who has never been there, but also from the eyes of someone who has spent her whole life there. And of course the secondary characters make the book shine with their stories. I look forward to future releases by this author.
