The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys
5.0

Ruta Sepetys has yet to disappoint with her novels. I went into this one only knowing it was about Spain, but I fell in love with her transportive writing and storytelling. Daniel and Ana's stories are seamlessly tied together in 1 month in Spain that carries a life time. The historical aspects of Spain were heartbreaking, but so interesting to learn about. I could not put this book down and it has made me curious to read other books about this topic. I loved this book even though it was hard to read about at times. I highly recommend this historical fiction novel and this author in general.
