This book was so emotional but it also reminded me how much I don’t know about history. About the Willhelm Gustoff, and The Amber Room, and the experience of eastern European countries in the Second World War! An incredibly important book.

It's about WWII so it's definitely dark, but it's very good. I really liked the beginning section where they were on the run, and it sorta had found family vibes with the different narrators getting to know each other throughout the story, which I really liked.
