From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Salt to the Sea and Between Shades of Gray comes a gripping, extraordinary portrait of love, silence, and secrets under a Spanish dictatorship. Madrid, 1957. Under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Spain is hiding a dark secret. Meanwhile, tourists and foreign businessmen flood into Spain under the welcoming promise of sunshine and wine. Among them is eighteen-year-old Daniel Matheson, the son of an oil tycoon, who arrives in Madrid with his parents hoping to connect with the country of his mother's birth through the lens of his camera. Photography--and fate--introduce him to Ana, whose family's interweaving obstacles reveal the lingering grasp of the Spanish Civil War--as well as chilling definitions of fortune and fear. Daniel's photographs leave him with uncomfortable questions amidst shadows of danger. He is backed into a corner of difficult decisions to protect those he loves. Lives and hearts collide, revealing an incredibly dark side to the sunny Spanish city. Master storyteller Ruta Sepetys once again shines light into one of history's darkest corners in this epic, heart-wrenching novel about identity, unforgettable love, repercussions of war, and the hidden violence of silence--inspired by the true postwar struggles of Spain. Includes vintage media reports, oral history commentary, photos, and more. Praise for The Fountains of Silence "Spain under Francisco Franco is as dystopian a setting as Margaret Atwood's Gilead in Ruta Sepetys's suspenseful, romantic and timely new work of historical fiction . . . 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 "Full of twists and revelations...an excellent story, and timely, too." --The Wall Street Journal "A 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* * "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*

Works well
Color: White&Black
Works well. Charge lasts reasonably long. The button placement could be thought out more. Difficult to pick it up with accidentally hitting button. S&P ends up everywhere.

You don't think it will change your life, but it will.
Color: Black
Had this grinder set for almost a year now and I, and my girlfriend can easily say we love these things. It genuinely makes cooking so much easier as salt and pepper are core foundations of seasoning. We've used these almost everyday, for all meals 2-3 times day and we have ZERO complaints. We love fresh cracked pepper but hate those small containers that you hand crack with, I'm looking at you McCormick. Need to season some steaks? Use these and in few seconds boom you're done without any straining whatsoever.
The setup is super straightforward and extremely simple. The containers do NOT come pre-filled with either salt nor pepper, however you can pick these up from say walmart for only a buck or two. Once you filled the containers, on the bottom of the grinders, you can easily select the grinding size that you want which is freaking awesome. Again for my steaks I like a bit bigger size of salt / pepper, however if I'm doing say an omelette I want something a bit finer. The charging base is awesome, however I will say these hold a charge for quite a while. We didn't charge these for over a month and they're still working hard. I believe the grind speed is perfect as it's not too slow nor too fast where I have to worry about over-seasoning my food.

They grind well, but have design flaws
Color: Black, Color: Black
These worked great for a few months, but then minor inconveniences became bigger issues.
While I initially liked these a lot...I would not purchase units with this design again
Pros:
These do grind well and have good adjustments to grind size.
The battery lasts plenty of time for a long cooking session
Flaws:
-because the grind comes out the bottom the base fills up with bits and grinding dust very quickly
-the location of the button inevitably leads you to pushing the button unintentionally when returning to the base
-the charging contacts are very small which means the smallest amount of material in the base makes the grinder sit crooked...and not charge
-in the past few weeks one of the seals on the bottom no longer will sit flush in the unit...which if course makes it sit crooked in the base and you guessed it...it won't charge. It seems to get a little worse as it is used more and I am waiting for it to basically become so bad it won't work at all anymore
The amount of material in the base in the photo is from probably 3-5 days of daily use.

Good quality, easy to use
Color: 2-Speed Rechargeable Set with Base
I absolutely love these grinders. I always thought electric grinders were silly but I’m so glad I bought these. They work great. I like the adjustable grind and the light really helps. They look nice and are well made.
