Hello Jean!
Thank you for your kind words. And yes, I would LOVE to write a book from Andrius's point of view. I'd love to write the story of what he experiences after Lina leaves the camp in the Altai region. He's a character who has really stayed with me. Thanks for your interest in him!

Hi Ruta! My name is Alexa and your book has become such a major part in my life! It has sparked my interest in historical fiction and I even got both my parents to read it! My question is, where did you find your beginning inspiration for hidden history? Did you enjoy history back in school or was it mainly just your father's past that gained your interest? Thank you for your amazing novel!

Ruta Sepetys:
A friend of mine recommended Salt to the Sea, and it has been my favorite read of the year thus far. My question is, how much time and what sort of research process goes into writing a book like Salt to the Sea? As a descendant of Eastern European Jews, who mostly perished during WWII, I find it difficult to find accurate information about that region and time period. Thank you for an exquisitely crafted novel!
