Ruta Sepetys is a masterful historical fiction author, and I Must Betray You is no exception. Set in the not-too-distant past — 1989, to be exact — I Must Betray You follows 17-year-old Cristian Florescu in Communist Romania as he grapples with his newfound position as an informant for the secret police. This page-turning step into the past will give readers insight into a time many know little about.
