The Salt to the Sea is very hard to follow for me, the overall of the books eventually comes together but reading it at the beginning is pretty hard to follow until later on in the book. The book is based upon a true story that really happened during the war. Its all off of what they believe happened through their eyes on what was going on. “I became good at pretending. I became so good that after a while the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. And sometimes, when I did a really good job of pretending, I even fooled myself.”She uses a lot of imagery and deep detail in this particular book of hers. “What had human beings become? Did war make us evil or just activate an evil already lurking within us?”  At the beginning of the book it looks like their will be a lot of loose ends but by the end of the book most of them are summed up.
