Über diesen Titel

 New York Times Bestseller! "Masterly crafted"—The Wall Street Journal

For readers of Between Shades of Gray and All the Light We Cannot See, bestselling author Ruta Sepetys returns to WWII in this epic novel that shines a light on one of the war's most devastating—yet unknown—tragedies.

World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, many 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 to safety.

Just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. Not country, nor culture, nor status matter as all ten thousand people—adults and children alike—aboard must fight for the same thing: survival.

Told in alternating points of view and perfect for fans of Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See, Erik Larson's Dead Wake, and Elizabeth Wein's Printz Honor Book Code Name Verity, this masterful work of historical fiction is inspired by the real-life tragedy that was the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff—the greatest maritime disaster in history. As she did in Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys unearths a shockingly little-known casualty of a gruesome war, and proves that humanity and love can prevail, even in the darkest of hours.

Featured on NPR's Morning Edition ♦ “Superlative…masterfully crafted…[a] powerful work of historical fiction.”—The Wall Street Journal ♦ “[Sepetys is] a master of YA fiction…she once again anchors a panoramic view of epic tragedy in perspectives that feel deeply textured and immediate.”—Entertainment Weekly ♦ "Riveting...powerful...haunting."—The Washington Post ♦ “Compelling for both adult and teenage readers.”—New York Times Book Review ♦ “Intimate, extraordinary, artfully crafted…brilliant.”—Shelf Awareness ♦ "Historical fiction at its very, very best."—The Globe and Mail ♦ “[H]aunting, heartbreaking, hopeful and altogether gorgeous…one of the best young-adult novels to appear in a very long time.”—Salt Lake Tribune Action & Abenteuer Historische Romane Literatur & Belletristik

The book was both heartwrenching and stunningly beautifull. It explored a tragedy I've never heard of. How extremely sad it is to know, that millions of people had to go through the same pain and misery, as the caracters of this novel. I loved, that they used different voiceactors for the 4 main caracters. It truly added much to the listening experience. I believe this book will stay with me forever.

This book is so so good. I like the multiple points of view. Every character has his own voice (not only because there are diffrent narrators, which by the way are all great and really bring the charaters to life). I love that Ruta Sepetys did so much reseach on the Wilhelm Gustloff and the time period. There are so many tragedies that happened during the 2. world war that have somewhat been forgotten or haven't been talked about. Such an amazing story that provokes all your feels :)
