Ruta Sepetys
WINNER
OF THE CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2017
It's early 1945 and a group of people trek
across Germany, bound together by their desperation to reach the ship that can
take them away from the war-ravaged land. Four young people, each haunted by
their own dark secret, narrate their unforgettable stories. Fans of The Book
Thief or Helen Dunmore's The Siege will be totally absorbed.
This inspirational novel is based on a true
story from the Second World War. When the German ship the Wilhelm Gustloff was
sunk in port in early 1945 it had over 9000 civilian refugees, including
children, on board. Nearly all were drowned. Ruta Sepetys, acclaimed author of
Between Shades of Grey, brilliantly imagines their story.
'Ruta Sepetys is a master of historical fiction' Elizabeth Wein, author of CODE NAME VERITY
