Where do I begin! I love a character-driven book and this was character-driven fiction at it's finest! It's so rare to find a multiperspective novel where I actually care about all of the perspectives being told and truly care about all the characters which is made all the more heartbreaking when you obviously know from the start what's awaiting them all by the end. This is by no means a novel about the Willhelm Gustloff but a story of love, loss, and finding your inner strength set against the backdrop of the worst maritime tragedy in history (but one that not many people even know about due to it happening to the other side). This is one of those books that I just know I'll keep thinking about long after I've read the last page (I stayed up til 1am to finish it) and I honestly couldn't recommend this more.
