4⭐️ - another wonderful book by Ruta Sepetys. I learn so much from her books about certain parts of history. I always end up googling about it. Definitely recommend this if you are interested in history, told in the perspective of a young girl.
While I've read my fair share of books set in the 1940s about World War II and the Holocaust, this book have me an insight into a part of history I've never heard about: the deportations of "enemies" to the Soviet Union to work camps in Siberia. This is not a pretty story. It's cruel, it's sad, it's horrible - and it's based off reality. I'm glad I read this book though and that it made me aware of a part of history that's usually forgotten.
