À propos de cet audio

 From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Salt to the Sea and Between Shades of Gray comes a gripping, extraordinary 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.

Master storyteller Ruta Sepetys once again shines light into one of history's darkest corners in this epic, heart-wrenching novel about identity, unforgettable love, repercussions of war, and the hidden violence of silence--inspired by the true postwar struggles of Spain.

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

Praise for The Fountains of Silence:

* "[Sepetys] tells a moving story made even more powerful by its placement in a lesser-known historical moment. Captivating, deft, and illuminating historical fiction." --Booklist, *STARRED REVIEW*

* "A stunning novel that exposes modern fascism and elevates human resilience." --Kirkus, *STARRED REVIEW*

I have read this book a few times and this is the first time that i’m listening to it and it’s still as good. ♥️

Would listen over and over

Not my first Ruta Sepetys novel, she is still as talented in retelling history in parallel with a compelling fictional story.

Love the Spanish accent

The author makes a period of Spain’s modern history come to life. Loved the references throughout and the well drawn characters.

Fabulous story

This historical fiction explains an important part of history that I didn't know about. It's written gracefully, without excessive drama and explores individuals beautifully. The narration is exceptional, with careful pronunciation with accents for the right characters, and voices and intonations that not only made it easy to keep track despite numerous people in the story, but also made me feel more attached to them. Here, the audio version of the book truly gives it an additional dimension.

Wonderfully written and performed

I’ve been a big Ruth Sapetys fan in the past but sadly this one didn’t have the same compelling plot or characters. I found the narration inconsistent. Overall disappointing.

Couldn’t get into this story
