There were so many things that I loved about this. The topic: the Spanish Civil War and its impact on the children of Spain who were sent to other countries, such as Mexico, to escape the violence of the war. I don’t know much about this topic, so I was very excited to read this. I loved the author’s book Auschwitz Lullaby. Escobar has done extensive research and created a heartfelt and very real story with lovable, sympathetic characters who strive to overcome heartbreaking obstacles. I learned so much from this and am planning to use it for my book discussion group.

From the opening line to the moving epilogue, this book carries so much history, emotion, and insight. I love when I learn from a story, especially when I know it was inspired by true events. Wonderful storytelling!

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.

REMEMBER ME by MARIO ESCOBAR is the story of the Alcalde children, Marco, Isabel and Ana's, incredible journey from Madrid to Morelia in Mexico during the Spanish Civil War. This is based on true stories about the children of Morelia. Their story is heart breaking, but beautifully told, with the author really getting into their emotions..
The parents' sacrificial love for their children and the children's undying love for their family is really inspirational. The enemy has taken away their home and country, but they cannot take away special memories or the burning desire to be reunited once again with those they love.
This is a part of history that I did not know much about and I found the book very interesting. The horrors of war, the wickedness of the Francoists and some members of the Catholic church, are a strong contrast to these three children who make the best of their terrible circumstances, It is heartening to see that, in contrast to those who wish to harm them, there are those who risk their lives to help..
I highly recommend Remember Me for those who enjoy this genre. It is the third novel I have read by this author and I really enjoy his books.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
