What is Sůl moře about?
The story takes place in the winter of 1945, as World War II nears its end. Masses of civilians flee East Prussia ahead of the advancing Red Army. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, young people from different backgrounds carrying secrets of their own.
Circumstances force them to stay together as they seek escape by sea. The Wilhelm Gustloff offers hope of reaching safety. The novel's historical framework draws on a real maritime disaster that remains less familiar than many other events of World War II.
The narrative focuses on individuals caught in war, survival, the loss of home, and differences that cease to offer protection when danger comes.
