luddite reviewed Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
Review of 'Salt to the Sea' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Oh, I quite liked this book. Neat, moving, well-researched, and helped by an interesting bunch of characters with good backstories, even if they don't develop all that much in the course of the book. The lack of their development over the course of the book made it feel like a fleeting one.
I quite liked her writing, and all the characters she built. The Shoe Poet was my favourite though. And the Acknowledgements answered the question as to why she picked the children and young adult perspective for such an event.
A good book. I'll be recommending this to my cousins.
