Ruta Sepetys is very quickly becoming one of the authors I will read without question simply because everything she's written has been so consistently outstanding. It's solidly within YA, our heroines are teens and the endings are generally happy, but she doesn't underestimate what the reader can handle. I fell absolutely in love with this story and I'm excited to recommend it on to other readers.
This was the only fictional book written by Ruta that I hadn't read yet. I've wanted to pick it up for quite some time and I am so glad that I finally did. I felt like this one was so much different from all of her other books, I can't exactly say what made it so different, but it was still amazing. I couldn't put it down and that's a very good sign, but I was expecting nothing less from one of my favorite authors!
Lithuania book around the world, This felt... very incomplete with a rather abrupt ending.
