Salt to the Sea

Ruta Sepetys

This stunning historical fiction novel tells the heartbreaking story of the little-known tragedy of the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff in the Baltic Sea during WWII. Overcrowded with 10,500 passengers, mostly refugees and children, only a fraction of the intended capacity, over 9,000 people lost their lives. Through the voices of Joana, Florian, Emilia, and Albert, Sepetys transports readers back in time with haunting accuracy and emotional depth, capturing the devastating reality of war and the power of human resilience.
