Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
4.0
Beautiful story. I am blown away by the fact that I had never heard of the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff.
Florian “Fate is a hunter. Its barrel pressed against my forehead. “
Joana “Guilt is a hunter. I was its hostage.”
Emilia “Shame is a hunter. My shame was all around me now.”
Alfred “Fear is a hunter. It encircles is when we are unarmed and least expect it.”
Joana Vilkas, your daughter, your sister. She is salt to the sea.
To think that this is the deadliest disaster in maritime history and that I had never been taught this is incredibly heartbreaking.
NOTHING IS BLACK AND WHITE.
