Salt to the Sea

Ruta Sepetys has done it again with Salt to the Sea which exemplifies the best in historical fiction writing: captivating characters, bittersweet events, meticulous research, and the ability to tie these all together in a narrative prose that keeps the reader engaged at all stages of the story! This little known WWII tragedy is retold with compassion and clarity. One is reminded of the many victims of war, especially children, when reading Salt to the Sea. Thank you Ruta, for giving voice to the voiceless victims of war.
