Salt to the Sea by Ruta SepetysMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a WWII story of love, brutality, suspicion, and redemption. It is told in alternating voices of the central characters.
It covers the close of WWII in East Prussia and follows a rag-tag group of people fleeing the Russians. Each of these refugees carries the weight of having witnessed unimaginable violence and each has something to hide. They form a team of sorts. They are aware how tenuously they cling to hopes of survival. They grow to trust one another and learn about love and trust amid the ruins of their lives.
A good story, overall!
