RIP Booklikes.

New Release Tuesday!

Salt to the Sea - Ruta Sepetys

Only one preorder to announce today, but it is one I've been looking forward to for a long time!

 

I've read one other Ruta Sepetys book - Out of the Easy - which I really loved a lot!

 

Plot summary:

 

For readers of Between Shades of Gray and All the Light We Cannot See, international bestselling author Ruta Sepetys returns to WWII in this epic novel that shines a light on one of the war's most devastating—yet unknown—tragedies.

World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia, and 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.

 

Doesn't that look incredible?
