    Winter 1945. WWII. Four refugees. Four stories.

    Each one born of a different homeland; each one hunted, and haunted, by tragedy, lies, war. As thousands desperately flock to the coast in the midst of a Soviet advance, four paths converge, vying for passage aboard the Wilhelm Gustloff, a ship that promises safety and freedom. But not all promises can be kept . . .

    This collector's edition includes in introduction by Fiona Davis, book club questions, exclusive interviews with Wilhelm Gustloff survivors and experts, and more behind-the-scenes content from Ruta Sepetys herself.
