![]() ![]() ![]() I am a little disappointed, I had been waiting to read this book with great expectations, since it deals with the story of my own country. Although this is marketed as a young adult novel, to me it is a terrific choice for adult readers who love historical fiction. ![]() This novel touched my heart as well helped begin my education about Spain and Franco. I loved learning about Spanish history through the eyes of young adults- one of wealth, and one of poverty- and I loved the suspense that was balanced with a forbidden friendship, all leading to an ending that had me pulling out the box of tissues.Īnother excellent historical fiction novel from Ruta Sepetys! I'm a bit embarrassed by how little I know about Spain during the time Fran. The intricately woven connections between the hotel maid, young American photographer, cousin working in an Adoption Centre, and a rough around the edges cousin were so poignantly developed- I devoured this book in a weekend. This story is told from multiple perspectives- all of varying backgrounds. Known for being a cross over writer, Sepetys is quickly becoming a new favorite with a beautiful blend of YA, historical fiction, and an edge of mystery. ![]() It was my first experience with Ruta Sepetys' writing, and I immediately fell in love. This is quite possibly one of my top 5 favorite books this year. ![]()
