Salt to the Sea was such a gripping, heartbreaking, and devasting journey. I found it very refreshing to read a historical fiction told from the point of view of people in my age range but it made it so much more heartbreaking to read. I'm glad I was able to learn about the Wilhem Gustloff as I had never heard of it before. This is an instant classic and will be on my favourites list and one I will recommend to everyone I know.
