This was an emotional read, especially in light of current events. Simple, but beautiful prose, and a compelling story. #booked2018 #getreading2018 #refugeemaincharacter #8of36 #audiobook

What a poignant and tragic story about 4 characters, their flight to freedom, and the Wilhelm Gustloff - how had I not heard of that tragedy? I really liked the alternating POV being used to build each character. I might‘ve actually sobbed at the end of this book because I became so invested in each one. This is a must read and thank you for sharing with me @Cinfhen 😘

BarbaraTheBibliophage, alisiakae

Bklover This sounds really good. I was just looking ok‘ing at it at the bookstore the other day. I‘ll have to add it to my TBR 6y

Mdargusch I hope you like it @Bklover I thought it was very powerful! 6y

Daisey I really enjoyed this and both of the other books by Ruta Sepetys that I‘ve read! Such great characters as well as important historical stories. 6y

kspenmoll Great review. A student of mine wants me to read it so I may just have to this summer... 6y

Cinfhen Marianne, I‘m so happy you loved it! I was a bit underwhelmed which makes me even happier that this book found a more deserving home 😃 6y

Mdargusch I saw your review @Cinfhen and I‘m just glad you passed it along to me. I have been tired of WWII books but I‘m guessing the whole part about the ship grabbed me after reading Dead Wake. 6y

Mdargusch It‘s a good one for that prompt @BarbaraTheBibliophage. I haven‘t read many books about the Germans that are not Jewish fleeing their own country. 6y

Mdargusch I need to read more of her books @Daisey 👍🏼 6y

Mdargusch Thanks @kspenmoll I hope you try it. I really loved her character development. 6y

emilyhaldi Sounds good 💙💙 6y
