Multiple voices make for an engaging read
Who has heard of the immense tragedy of the sunk ship, the Wilhelm Gustloff, during WWII? Not many folks, right? Nearly 10,000 (*mostly citizens) died. Here, Sepetys masterfully tells the story through the voices of five different teens who have five different walks of life, including a Nazi deserter, a Jewish girl in hiding, and a Prussian who has lost her whole family. This is a rare book that will keep you thinking on it long past when you have completed it.
