Marco Alcalde is the son of Spanish anti-Fascists in Madrid at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. Forced to choose between keeping the family together and their children's safety, his parents make the heart-breaking decision to send Marco and his two younger sisters to Mexico, away from their war-torn homeland. Marco and his sisters encounter devastating betrayals and near-death experiences as they travel and live in Mexico, all while desperately attempting to hold onto one another. Escobar's latest (after Auschwitz Lullaby, 2018) is a meticulously researched story, recreating actual experiences of the 460 Spanish children who were sent to Morelia, Mexico in 1937. Devastating, enlightening, and passionately told, Escobar's novel shines a light on the experiences of the victims of war, and makes a case against those who would use violence to gain power. Although painful events in the story make it hard to read at times, the books gives a voice to so many whose stories are often overlooked, while inspiring the reader to never give way to fear or let go of one's humanity.
