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.
Told in alternating points of view, this masterful work of historical fiction is inspired by the real-life tragedy that was the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff—the greatest maritime disaster in history. As she did in Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys unearths a shockingly little-known casualty of a gruesome war, and proves that humanity can prevail, even in the darkest of hours.
Expected publication: February 9th, 2016

OdgovoriIzbrišithis sounds really good! My sister loves this author.
OdgovoriIzbrišiThis one fell under my radar for SO LONG but I'm really excited since I adored Supetys' last two novels and I'm sure this is going to be spectacular. Great pick, ladies! :)
