Salt to the Sea

Ruta Sepetys

Beautiful and heartbreaking, full of love and hope, bestselling author Ruta Sepetys's new novel Salt to the Sea tells the story of a tragedy that history has forgotten.

World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia. Thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, almost all of them with something to hide. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to the ship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff. Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in one another tested with each step closer toward safety. Just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. Not country, nor culture, nor status matter as all ten thousand people aboard must fight for the same thing: survival.
