Quality
I didn't expect a lot and was pleasantly surprised!
It is beautifully written and i connected with the characters.
At least one character is almost guaranteed to have something in common with the reader.
Shipping
It was fast moving and good reading.
I did not know of the ship’s sinking before reading the book, but i’m so glad to have learned of it.
When the ship was sinking, people being trapped on the lower deck and helples teenagers.
For example, when the ship was leaving the port.
Packaging/appearance
Salt to the sea is historical fiction based on a true event, the sinking of the wilhelm gustloff.
A little know story to me, although fictionalized, is the sinking of the wilhelm gustloff and the enormous loss of life.
Competitiveness
Loved this book and even had my 13yo son read it as well.
It’s a powerful portrayal of a horrendous event.

This historical fiction story takes you on a whirlwind of stories, all converging on the same boat, and meeting the same tragic fate.

The story did end on a rather abrupt note, but if the author had included everything between the tragic event and the conclusion, the book would have been as big as the complete works of william shakespeare.
