The Fountains of Silence

Ruta Sepetys

In 1957 Madrid, under the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, a young photographer encounters secrets hidden behind Spain’s sunny public image. Tourists and foreign businesspeople arrive amid promises of sunshine and wine, while the country conceals a darker reality. Daniel visits Spain with his family and uses photography to document Franco’s repressive regime. As he uncovers what lies beneath the surface, he risks much in pursuit of truth and love.
