Salt to the Sea


This book was recommended to me by my daughter's librarian.
She was aware that Abby and I both enjoy WWII books.
Abby was interested in it so I told her I would have to preview it before she read it.

***1/2
PG-13
{L} {GS} also, a few mild innuendos
Not Recommend

This was an amazing story and so well written.
That being said, there was a bit of {L}.
My biggest problem with it though was the {GS}.  It's super graphic (for me anyway) with the imagery...especially toward the end.  Lots of death, lots of sadness.

After I read it I told Abby I would prefer her not to read it but I would give her the choice.
Well, she chose to read it.  I made sure we debriefed after she finished it and talked about some of the issues.
