Ruta Sepetys does a wonderful job bringing history that is not well known to light. I have enjoyed her other novels immensely. This book for me however dragged. I had not known much about Spain’s history under General Francisco Franco. This novel was very eye opening as to what went on. I did enjoy reading about the different characters, especially Daniel and Anna. However I just felt this book was a lot slow. It took me a long time to get into it. The second part of the book was better and I enjoyed that the end of the book let one know what happened. I will definitely read more of her books in the future. This one just needed to be a little shorter and a little bit more fast paced. Great book though if you want to learn about the history of this time period in Spain.
