My Review:

Special thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Fiction for providing me with Arc. This is the first novel to me by Mario Escobar, but i really loved it and appreciate that he give me a chance to read such an amazing novel. I never ever read about civil war in Spain before or know that it even happened but this novel had alot of great information about it. The most wonderful thing in this novel that it described a lot of places in Madrid specially the museum's, i hope one day i can visit this lovely city. War is very ugly, especially for young people, it leaves a very negative impact them and they cannot easily bypass this. This story is full of many feelings that are difficult to describe, the feeling of being fathers and mothers are a great thing that cannot be valued at any cost, they always make many sacrifices that are difficult to return the favor to them. I am feeling so sorry for Marco, he spent all his life fighting and continue alone without friends or family. The Cover is amazing, i love everything that related to sea and it attracted me always.

Book Description: 

Historians refer to the Spanish Civil War as one of the bloodiest wars of the twentieth century. In 1937, at Mexico’s request and offer, nearly 500 children from Spain—remembered as Los NiƱos de Morelia—were relocated via ship to Mexico to escape the war’s violence. These children traveled across the sea without their families and were expected to return at the war’s end. No one could have foreseen another world war was on the way—or that that Franco’s regime would prevent the children from coming home. These enduring conflicts trapped the children in a country far from their homeland, and many never made it back.
