Praise for The Fountains of Silence:"Spain under Francisco Franco is as dystopian a setting as Margaret Atwood&rsquo;s Gilead in Ruta Sepetys&rsquo;s suspenseful, romantic and timely new work of historical fiction . . .&#160;Like [Shakespeare's family romances], 'The Fountains of Silence' speaks truth to power, persuading future rulers to avoid repeating the crimes of the past." --The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Full of twists and revelations&hellip;an excellent story, and timely, too.&rdquo; --The Wall Street Journal"A&#160;staggering tale of love, loss, and national shame." --Entertainment Weekly* "[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** "This gripping, often haunting historical novel offers a memorable portrait of fascist Spain." --Publishers Weekly, *STARRED REVIEW** "This richly woven historical fiction . . . will keep young adults as well as adults interested from the first page to the last." --SLC, *STARRED REVIEW** "Riveting . . . An exemplary work of historical fiction." --The Horn Book, *STARRED REVIEW** "With The Fountains of Silence, Sepetys has once again written gripping historical fiction with great crossover appeal to adult readers, combining impeccable research with sweeping storytelling." --BookPage, *STARRED REVIEW** "[A] far-reaching narrative . . . As usual Sepetys has done her homework [and] brings a brutal authenticity." --BCCB, *STARRED REVIEW** "In a gut-wrenching YA novel about the terrible destructiveness of secrets untold, master storyteller Ruta Sepetys reveals the dark underbelly of 1950s Spain under dictator Franco." --Shelf Awareness, *STARRED REVIEW*"This well-crafted story sheds light on a disturbing chapter of 20th century history." --SLJ"Readers who enjoy historical fiction will find that Sepetys has once again brought history to life." --VOYAPraise for&#160;Salt to the Sea:"Ruta Sepetys is a master of historical fiction. In&#160;Salt to the Sea&#160;the hard truths of her herculean research are tempered with effortless, intimate&#160;storytelling, as her warm and human characters&#160;breathe&#160;new life into one of the world's most terrible and neglected tragedies." &mdash;Elizabeth Wein,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of Printz Award Honor Book&#160;Code Name Verity&ldquo;A rich, page-turning story that brings to vivid life a terrifying&mdash;and little-known&mdash;moment in World War II history.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Steve Sheinkin, author of Newbery Honor and National Book Award finalist&#160;Bomb&#160;"Brutal. Beautiful. Honest."&#160;&mdash;Sabaa Tahir,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;An Ember in the Ashes&#160;* "Sepetys excels in shining light on lost chapters of history, and this visceral novel proves a memorable testament to strength and resilience in the face of war and cruelty."&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly,&#160;starred review&#160;&#160;* "This haunting gem of a novel begs to be remembered, and in turn, it tries to remember the thousands of real people its fictional characters represent. What it asks of us is that their memories, and their stories, not be abandoned to the sea."&#160;&mdash;Booklist,&#160;starred review&#160;* "Artfully told and sensitively crafted, [this] will leave readers weeping."&#160;&mdash;School Library Journal,&#160;starred review
