Las fuentes del silencio

At the height of collaboration with the United States, Spain receives a multitude of tourists and foreign businessmen who arrive in the country after the recent economic opening. Among them is the young Daniel Matheson, the son of a Texas oil magnate who arrives in Madrid with his parents. The fate of Daniel, who aspires to become a photojournalist, intersects with that of Ana, a maid at the Castellana Hilton hotel who comes from a family devastated by the Civil War. Daniel's photographs reveal the dark face of the post-war period, raising uncomfortable questions and conditioning him to make difficult decisions to protect the people he loves. Ruta Sepetys returns to focus on one of the darkest corners of history with this epic novel about fear, identity, loves that are not forgotten and the hidden voice of silence.
