What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers are raving about this historical fiction, noting its powerful emotional impact and well-crafted storytelling. They appreciate how the book brings to light the largely unknown tragedy of the Wilhelm Gustloff sinking, which claimed nearly 10,000 lives, including many children. The characters, particularly Joana, Florian, Emelia, and Alfred, leave a lasting impression, although some readers found the multiple perspectives and shorter chapters made the story slow to start. However, the narrative's depth and the author’s unique focus on lesser-known historical events make it a favorite among many, with high recommendations and some readers returning to it multiple times.
