One of my biggest pleasures in life if finding books and sharing them!
And to me blogging isn't just about reviewing books, it's also about introducing you to books you may not know - even if I haven't even read them yet!
They look so good I just need to shine the spotlight on them!
Today I'm spotlighting:
Salt to the Sea
by Ruta Sepetys
The author of Between Shades of Gray returns to WWII in this epic novel that shines a light on one of the war's most devastating—yet unknown—tragedies.
In 1945, World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia, and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, almost all of them with something to hide. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to the ship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff. Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in each other tested with each step closer toward safety.
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.
This one looks just fantastic. I need to show it to my daughter. She loves history and LOVE anything to do with Prussia.
You can read a bit of the book HERE.
I just got my hands on an ARC of this one! I'm really excited to read it! I love WWII historical stuff! I hope I can get to this one soon because I'm basically dying to read it!
