<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER • From the award-winning author of <i>Salt to the Sea</i> and <i>Between Shades of Gray</i> comes a gripping, extraordinary novel of love, silence, and secrets under a dictatorship in 1950s Spain.<br><br>“Suspenseful, romantic and timely . . . speaks truth to power, persuading future rulers to avoid repeating the crimes of the past."—<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br><br>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. <br><br>Photography—and fate—introduce him to Ana, whose family's interweaving obstacles reveal the lingering grasp of the Spanish Civil War, as well as the chilling realities of fortune and fear. Daniel's photographs leave him with uncomfortable questions amidst shadows of danger. Lives and hearts collide when he's backed into a corner to protect those he loves, revealing an incredibly dark side to the sunny Spanish city.<br><br>Master storyteller Ruta Sepetys once again shines light into one of history's darkest corners in this epic, heart-wrenching novel. Featuring vintage media reports, oral history commentary, photos, and more, <i>The Fountains of Silence </i>provides a memorable portrait of the true postwar struggles of Spain.
