Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys is a mesmerizing narrative that won the esteemed CILIP Carnegie Medal in 2017. This gripping novel plunges readers into the harrowing final days of World War II, where hope and despair intertwine in a quest for survival.

Set against the backdrop of a war-torn Germany, Salt to the Sea tells the story of four young individuals, each carrying the weight of their own hidden pasts. As they journey toward a ship that promises escape from the chaos, their lives converge in ways that are both heartbreaking and transformative.

Inspired by the true tragedy of the Wilhelm Gustloff, a German ship that sank in early 1945 with over 9,000 civilian refugees aboard, this novel brings to light a forgotten chapter of history. Ruta Sepetys, acclaimed for her rich storytelling in Between Shades of Grey, artfully navigates themes of resilience and the human spirit.

  • A compelling narrative from an award-winning author
  • Deep exploration of the impact of war on individuals
  • Richly developed characters with powerful backstories
  • Historical fiction that sheds light on overlooked events

In this masterful work, Sepetys captures the essence of bravery and the enduring quest for freedom. Salt to the Sea is a must-read for lovers of historical fiction, blending emotional depth with important historical insights that resonate long after the last page is turned.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
