Description Concering Books The Fountains of Silence

A portrait of love, silence, and secrets under a Spanish dictatorship.

Madrid, 1957. Under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Spain is hiding a dark secret. Meanwhile, tourists and foreign businessmen flood into Spain under the welcoming promise of sunshine and wine. Among them is eighteen-year-old Daniel Matheson, the son of an oil tycoon, who arrives in Madrid with his parents hoping to connect with the country of his mother's birth through the lens of his camera. Photography--and fate--introduce him to Ana, whose family's interweaving obstacles reveal the lingering grasp of the Spanish Civil War--as well as chilling definitions of fortune and fear. Daniel's photographs leave him with uncomfortable questions amidst shadows of danger. He is backed into a corner of difficult decisions to protect those he loves. Lives and hearts collide, revealing an incredibly dark side to the sunny Spanish city.

Includes vintage media reports, oral history commentary, photos, and more.

Weigh Up Out Of Books The Fountains of Silence

Thank you to the publishers for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! Going into this book, I knew very little about the Spanish Civil War. I knew some about the beginning and some about the end, but this was a new thing to read about for me. I thought that the book did a great job of making the reader learn as we go along and feel engaged with the period, but also of having mentions of what happened to characters earlier on as we go without being

Why I love itby Danielle McNallyWhen I read, I want to be transported. To another place, to another time, to a world I never could have experienced on my own. In Ruta Sepetyss latest, The Fountains of Silence, I was taken to a sepia-toned summer in 1950s Spain. The entire time I was reading (which wasnt long, since I flew through the 475-page novel in three days), I felt as if I, too, were walking the cobblestoned streets of Madrid, the heat of the late afternoon sun on my shoulders.That said,

Another read that I'm not sure how to rate. I've been backburner thinking about how to review this book since I finished it on friday...it's now sunday morning and I need to post something before I forget entirely 🙈I have previously read one Ruta Sepetys book last year and have another waiting on my kindle for a Buddy Read if/when things calm down. Both those books show aspects of WW2 from perspectives that we don't often see them from and this book was no different in that it shows a time in

Great review, dear friend!

Having had twelve hours to process the book after reading it in the span of twenty-four hours including a car ride (and I don't read in the car because well, motion-sickness, but there are just times where that needs to be overcome), I can now write a review that consists of more than hearts and exclamation points. Picking stories that represent dark times in our global history is likely the easiest part, but deciding to tell it with the emotional strength and depth required can only be trusted

I'm not going to rate or review this. I've only liked one of the three Sepetys books I've read in the past, but I was really hoping a book on Spain under Franco would be the equalizer. It wasn't to be. I'm just not a fan of the way the author jumps very quickly between multiple POVs. I feel so detached from the stories. Just not for me.

Do you realize the lengths I would go to for a copy of this book? I NEED THIS SO BADLYNow its been read, and this is easily one of my favorites of the year! Its heart-breaking, its romantic, its fun, and its achingly honest in a way only Sepetys can achieve. Her debut, Between Shades of Gray, is one of my all time favorites, but her last two have been slightly disappointing. This, however, is her redemption novel. Filled with intricate and real characters, historical intrigue, and lusty romance
