I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys
5.0
dark emotional reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

"Spectacular hope."  This simple statement is not only a pivotal plot point of this story, but also an incredibly inspiring message woven through these pages. 

I am in absolute awe at the courage, resilience and bravery of the Romanian students highlighted in this story. Sepetys' masterful writing & well crafted research came together beautifully to shine a light on an often overlooked historical nightmare.

This story is important. History is essential. As people, as humans, we must learn and do better.

As Ruta said in her author's note-
"Together, we can shine a light in dark corners of the past.
Together, we can give history a voice."
