KlappentextNew York Times Bestseller and winner of the Carnegie Medal!ÿ"Masterfully crafted" The Wall Street Journal
For readers ofÿBetween Shades of Grayÿand All the Light We Cannot See, Ruta Sepetysÿreturns to WWII in this epic novel thatÿshines 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, many with something to hide.ÿAmong them areÿJoana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to theÿship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff. Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in each other testedÿwith each step closer to safety.
Just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. Notÿcountry, nor culture, nor status matter as all ten thousand people adults and children alike aboard must fight for the same thing: survival.
Told in alternating points of view and perfect for fans of Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winningÿAll the Light We Cannot See, Erik Larson'sÿDead Wake, and Elizabeth Wein's Printz Honor BookÿCode Name Verity, this masterful work of historical fiction is inspired by the real-life tragedy that was the sinking of theÿWilhelm Gustloff the greatest maritime disaster in history. As she did inÿBetween Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys unearths a shockingly little-known casualty of a gruesome war, and proves that humanity and love can prevail, even in the darkest of hours.
