New York Times Bestseller and winner of the Carnegie Medal "Masterfully crafted"--The Wall Street Journal For readers of Between Shades of Gray and All the Light We Cannot See, Ruta Sepetys returns to WWII in this epic novel that shines a light on one of the war's most devastating--yet unknown--tragedies.World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, many with something to hide. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to the ship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff. Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in each other tested with each step closer to safety. Just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. Not country, nor culture, nor status matter as all ten thousand people--adults and children alike--aboard must fight for the same thing: survival. Told in alternating points of view and perfect for fans of Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See, Erik Larson's Dead Wake, and Elizabeth Wein's Printz Honor Book Code Name Verity, this masterful work of historical fiction is inspired by the real-life tragedy that was the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff--the greatest maritime disaster in history. As she did in Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys unearths a shockingly little-known casualty of a gruesome war, and proves that humanity and love can prevail, even in the darkest of hours.

Works great, easy to use and attractive. Lightweight, doesn't take up a lot of space. Battery seems strong. Foil cutter works great. Good buy!

GREAT product!
I have had mechanical wine openers before and found them to be more annoying and more time consuming than just using a traditional corkscrew. NOT the case w/this one. So....
1. display: the charger station is small enough in size that it would fit in most any location w/o taking up too much space. For those that do not like clutter or one more "gadget" to sit out, this is a good size. The charging station has a little holder for the foil cutter as well which is great and keeps all parts together so no one has to search drawers when ready to open the bottle. There is a blue light that glows while being charged and is very pleasant to look actually and is a nice touch. so it actually looks really good sitting on top of the wine rack. Mine happens to be right next to an electrical plug on the wall so does not reveal the hanging cords or wires.
2. function: works great so far and have opened quite a few bottles. very easy to use. would suggest holding the bottle by the fatter part toward the middle and then using the other hand to work the corkscrew. does not work well if the bottle sits on the counter unless you have a good solid grip on the base. Its actually easier to just pick up the bottle and do it that way. of course that's after using the foil cutter which gives a perfect cut and removal each and every time.
3. battery life: i think the product says it can be used for 30 bottle openings during a single charge. that is quite more wine that most people would be going through in an evening so i don't think anyone would have an issue w/keeping a charge. I use it and then put directly back on the charging station as i do my mechanical salt and pepper grinders. that way, its always on the cradle and charging. as mentioned there is a blue light that glows in the actual item while its charging and i like the way it looks so would have no reason to keep it off the charger anyway.
this also makes a GREAT gift especially a house warming gift to anyone who drinks wine or entertains

Great but had a problem
It’s great except you have to finagle the darn thing for it to charge. Sometimes I have to use something to get it to lean just right so it charges. Otherwise it’s spectacular and easy to use! Love the foil cutter tbh, that works like a gem!
