Author Talk by Ruta Sepetys Ruta Sepetys APRIL 23RD AT 14-15 Background Born in Detroit, Michigan in the United States. Her family loved reading, music and art. Living in Nashville, Tennessee, in the United States with her family. Half American and half Lithuanian. Proud over her Lithuanian background. Has worked in the music and entertainment industry for over twenty years. Interested in and passionate about the power of history and literature. Suspension builds both on the plot (how it will end up for the characters) and the historical context for the novels. Intention to foster global awareness and connectivity, through bringing up for many people common important historical figures, “hidden chapters in history”, conditions for survival and more. Experience of presenting to NATO, the European Parliament, the United States Capitol, and embassies worldwide. Common features of the novels Ruta Sepetys’ novels take place during poignant periods in history, such as Stalin’s gulag, Europe’s Eastern Front in World War II, New Orleans in the 1950s. All novels contain the theme of journey. The characters must overcome the challenges in their daily lives. They need to maneuver around the obstacles placed in their way, by events in the past, recent or distant. Main characters are driven by hope. It could be hope for a better life, to get out of a bad situation, or surviving for some more time. Characters need to overcome both events surrounding them and aspects of their own backgrounds, as can be overwhelming, oppressive, and unfair. Discussion questions Ruta’s novels are brining up the theme of living through significant events in history: 1. To what extent are our lives a product of the times that we live in? 2. What are the circumstances of history and daily life that are most challenging to endure? How do you handle those? 3. How may circumstances of history affect interpersonal relationships? Between Shades of Gray What is it about? It is about a Lithuanian girl deported to Siberia during World War II. It contains themes of loss, fear and survival. Plot summary: 15 years old Lina is a Lithuanian girl living an ordinary life until the Soviet occupation in 1941. Then officers invade her home and separates her father from the rest of the family. Lina, her mother, and her young brother get transported to a Siberian work camp where they need to fight for their lives. Lina finds solace in documenting events by drawing, imbedding clues of their location in the drawings and passes them along to her dad’s prison camp. Will Lina and her family survive? The novel has been filmatized. As a film it is called Ashes in the snow. Out of the Easy What is it about? Lies, secrets, how destiny can shape our lives Plot summary: The novel is about 17 years old Josie Moraine, who is struggling to escape her own family. She is known as the daughter of a brothel prostitute, but dreams of attending an Elite college. As she has created a plan to shape her own destiny, she is affected by a mysterious death in the Quarter. It challenges her conscience, the loyalty to her mum, and a lady Willie Woodley on Conti Street. The book take place during the 1950s in New Orleans. Salt to the Sea What is it about? The novel shines a light on a massive ship wreck, one of the war’s most devastating, little-known, tragedies. Plot summary: The novel take place in East Prussia during winter 1945. Thousands of refugees are desperately trying to find their way to freedom, many with something to hide. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, all born of different homelands. Their paths converge on their way to a ship that promises salvation, Wilhelm Gustloff. Along the way, Joana, Emilia and Florian find their strength, courage, and trust in each other tested, with each step closer to safety. They are all hunted and haunted by tragedy, lies and war. Just when it seems like freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. All ten thousand people aboard must fight for their survival. The novel shows that humanity and love can prevail, even in the darkest of hours. Based on research The novel is inspired by a real-life tragedy, the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff. That is known as greatest maritime disaster in history. The ship was meant to evacuate German soldiers, civilians and refugees, from Poland, Lithuania and other countries who were fleeing the Soviet army. The novel reveal a shockingly little-known casualty of a gruesome war. Ruta Sepetys told The Guardian: “When I interviewed people during my research, some told me not to bother with the book, that the world had forgotten them. The interest in the novel confirms that through characters and story, historical statistics become human and suddenly we care for those we’ve never met. My work sits on the shoulders of nonfiction, memoir and testimony. If a reader is interested in my novels, it’s my hope that they will feel compelled to research the facts behind the fiction.” Carnegie Medal Winner The prize has been awarded since 1937 by The British Library Association. It goes to last year's best children's or youth book published in the UK. Salt to the sea got the Carnegie Medal 2017, for stimulating empathy and solidarity. Of Salt to the sea, the judges said that “not one of us knew about this real-life disaster and it shows how history is skewed towards the victor.” They added: “[The book] has been selected because of the powerful, crafted language, the tight, carefully shaped plot and the range of moods evoked throughout.” The Fountains of Silence What is it about? Love, silence, identity, repercussions of war and the complexity of a Spanish dictatorship. Plot summary: The novel is inspired by the postwar struggles of Spain. It is taking place during 1957 in Madrid, under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco. 18 years old Daniel Matheson arrives in Madrid. His parents want to connect with the country of his mum’s birth. They are doing so through photography. Daniel get introduced to Ana whose family is still affected by the Spanish Civil War and dark secrets related to that. Photographs taken by Daniel is leaving him with questions and in danger. He is forced to make decisions in order to protect those he loves. The author’s thoughts About hardship Here is a link to where Ruta discuss research and what we can learn from those who have gone through hardship: https://anchor.fm/we-are-ya/episodes/The-Check-In-Ruta-Sepetys-ec4i7g/a-a1q9hqm About creativity “I am a firm believer that fostering the creative spirit, whether through art, music, literature, film, dance, hobbies or collaborating with others, can provide a lifetime of happiness. Over the years, I have worked with celebrities and musicians, helping them bring their creative and musical stories to the world. Along the way I was compelled to share my own story and began writing.” Bibliography https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/244050/ruta-sepetys http://rutasepetys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Ruta- Sepetys-Bio-AITS.pdf https://www.penguin.com/wp- content/uploads/2018/01/RutaSepetys_Guide_FNL_web.pdf https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/announcements/ruta -septys-salt-to-the-sea-wins-cilip-carnegie-medal-for-best- childrens-writing/ https://www.penguin.com/static/pages/youngreaders/teachers -librarians/author_appearance/sepetys.php.

  • A Discussion Guide to Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
    THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER of the CARNEGIE MEDAL A Discussion & Research Guide RUTA SEPETYS TO SALTTHE SEA Those who are gone are not necessarily lost. Author’s Note This book is a work of historical fi ction. The Wilhelm Gustloff, the Amber Room, and Operation Hannibal, however, are very real. The sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff is the deadliest disaster in maritime history, with losses dwarfi ng the death tolls of the famous ships Titanic and Lusitania. Yet remarkably, most people have never heard of it. On January 30, 1945, four torpedoes waited in the belly of Soviet submarine S-13. Each torpedo was painted with a scrawled dedication: For the Motherland. For the Soviet People. For Lenin- grad. For Stalin. Three of the four torpedoes were launched, destroying the Wilhelm Gustloff and killing estimates of more than nine thousand people. The majority of the passengers on the Gustloff were civilians, with an estimated fi ve thousand being children. The ghost ship, as it is sometimes called, now lies off the coast of Poland, the large gothic letters of her name still visible underwater. Over two million people were successfully evacuated during Operation Hannibal, the largest sea evacuation in modern history. Hannibal quickly transported not only soldiers but also civilians to safety from the advancing Russian troops. Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, ethnic Germans, and residents of the East Prussian and Polish corridors all fl ed toward the sea. My father’s cousins were among them. My father, like Joana’s mother, waited in refugee camps hoping to return to Lithuania.

Salt to the SeaBy Leeanna ChetskoIrsquo;ve studied World War II for years. Irsquo;ve read countless books, both nonfiction and fiction, and watched a lot of documentaries. My undergrad degree is even in history. But somehow, before SALT TO THE SEA, Irsquo;d only heard about the Wilhelm Gustloff once.One mention of such an immense tragedy.Irsquo;m thankful to Ruta Sepetys for writing SALT TO THE SEA. I always enjoy historical fiction that introduces me to something I didnrsquo;t know before, which she certainly does. But more than that, the author has such a deft, confident hand that I could sense the amount of research she did and the respect she has for the survivors and victims of the Wilhelm Gustloff. Sepetys doesnrsquo;t overwhelm you with her knowledge, but inserts it subtly, weaving it into the backstories, thoughts, and actions of the characters.SALT TO THE SEA is told through the eyes of four characters.

  • Ruta Sepetys ILB 2016
    The Future Eyes of the Past Ruta Sepetys • September 7, 2016 • ILB It’s an honor to be at the 16th annual International Literature Festival of Berlin. I’m particularly thrilled to be taking part in the program for children and young adults. In the United States, I am considered a “crossover” author—“crossover” because my novels are read by readers across many age groups, from students to elderly adults. I have written three historical novels. Much to my delight, my books are published in over 50 countries and 35 languages. That certainly would not be possible without my translators and foreign publishers. In many countries, my books are published only for adults, not teenagers. In Germany, however, it’s the opposite. I am published for young readers in Germany and I am so happy about that. I feel enormous gratitude to my German publisher Königskinder, and the brilliant German translator of my novels, Henning Ahrens. As a writer, I am drawn to underrepresented stories and history in hiding. I spend a lot of time pondering the question—why do some parts of history penetrate our collective consciousness while others remain hidden? That question inspired my first novel, Between Shades of Gray, which shares the story of Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians deported to Siberia by Joseph Stalin. My interest in history also inspired my most recent novel, Salt to the Sea, which tells the story of the evacuation of East Prussia and the sinking of the German ship, MV Wilhelm Gustloff. In addition to generating questions, writing historical novels and studying the past has taught me many things, but perhaps most importantly, it has taught me that progress is possible.

  • Dear Early Readers, When I Read the First Draft of the Fountains of Silence, I Devoured the Pages in Awe. of Course, I Knew to E
    Dear early readers, When I read the first draft ofThe Fountains of Silence, I devoured the pages in awe. Of course, I knew to expect gorgeous prose, intricate plotting, compelling characters, and hidden history. For those things, Ruta has become well known. But I didn’t anticipate the read would be such a visceral experience. The Fountains of Silence takes us to Madrid, Spain, in 1957, during the height of General Francisco Franco’s regime. There, we follow four main characters as they attempt to shake off the shackles of their pasts and make their own futures. For Daniel, it means forsaking the family’s thriving oil business for photojournalism. For Ana, Rafa, and Puri, it means finding fulfilment in a country governed by fear and loss, and emerging from the long shadows cast by their parents. Before I read this novel, I knew very little about what Spain was like under Franco’s rule. I knew nothing of the secrets, of the scandal, of the oppression and lack of choice. It’s a true testament to Ruta’s strengths and abilities—as a researcher, a storyteller, a writer, and a human—that, just as Between Shades of Gray and Salt to the Sea have done, The Fountains of Silence will not only have you caring for characters, and for an entire country’s legacy that may be worlds away from your own, but will leave you better informed about our collective global history as well. Through history, Ruta taps into our intrinsic need for connection, and the power of empathy.
