Hello Ruta! I'm a YA librarian & a fan of your books- my teens really love them! I remember when Between Shades of Gray and Fifty Shades of Grey came out and were being confused with each other- it was funny! Anyways, I could really picture your books as movies; if you could cast the four narrators in Salt to the Sea who would you choose? (If this ever happened, I hope they bring you in for scripting!)

Hi Christina!
Librarians are my heroes! Thank you so much for recommending my books to your teens.
My first novel, "Between Shades of Gray" is currently in production as a film. It's so exciting! You can see photos on my public FB page:

"Salt to the Sea" has been optioned and is in development as a film but it's still in the early stages. In terms of casting characters, it's so hard to say! But for Joana, Emilia, and Florian I would look for actors who could master nuance as all of the characters are hunted, and haunted, by secrets and lies.
Crossing my fingers that "Salt to the Sea" eventually moves from development to production!

Hi Ruta!! The book club I am in at school just got done reading Between Shades of Gray (and all of us who read it loved it). The big discussion question was of all the symbolism in the book. We found some like the pocket watch/ the man with the watch, the handkerchief, her sketches are just a few. My question to you is was there any symbolism you absolutely wanted in the book to stick out to readers?

Ruta Sepetys:
Salt To Sea was outstanding and I have made it a suggestion for many friends. Would you ever consider continuing on that story into the next generation? It was easy to become attached to the characters and I know I would be curious to see how one would react to finding out about their heritage. Thank you and I look forward to reading more of your writings.
