Salt to the Sea
Four teens, four secrets, in the midst of World War II. In the novel Salt to the Sea by Ruta
Sepetys, thousands of refugees are desperate to board the Wilhelm Gustloff in order to find
Sanctuary from the war. The massive ship promises safety but with the amount of people being boarded, who knows if it will live up to its expectations of getting these people to a safe place. With time and the weather working against the
refugees they need to flee on the ship fast. The stories of these four teens are converged, but
who will end up the lucky ones? Salt to the Sea is inspired by the single greatest tragedy in
maritime history.
I would recommend this book to anybody. Not only is it inspired by a true story but there is some
fictional parts in order to keep you turning the page. Anybody would enjoy reading this book
especially if they are a history or WWII buff. Sepetys does a great job integrating all of the teens' stories into one novel.
