Özet
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the award-winning author of Salt to the Sea comes a “superb” (The Wall Street Journal), “eye-opening” (Los Angeles Times) novel of survival and hope in the darkest of places—the inspiration for the major motion picture Ashes in the Snow

"Few books are beautifully written, fewer still are important; this novel is both." —The Washington Post

WINNER OF THE GOLDEN KITE AWARD • A CARNEGIE MEDAL NOMINEE • A WILLIAM C. MORRIS AWARD FINALIST • A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST YOUNG ADULT BOOK OF THE CENTURY

A knock comes at the door in the dead of night, and Lina’s life changes in an instant. With her young brother and mother, she is hauled away by the Soviet secret police from her home in Lithuania and thrown into a cattle car en route to Siberia. Separated from her father, Lina secretly passes along clues in the form of drawings, hoping they will reach his prison camp. But will her letters, or her courage, be enough to reunite her family? Will they be enough to keep her alive?

A moving and haunting novel about loss, fear, and ultimately, survival, Between Shades of Gray is a tour de force of historical and emotional storytelling.

“Stalin deported and murdered millions, but he could not destroy the seeds of memory, compassion, and art that they left behind. From those seeds, Ruta Septeys has crafted a brilliant story of love and survival that will keep their memory alive for generations to come.”--Laurie Halse Anderson, bestselling author of Speak and Wintergirls

“Between Shades of Gray is a story of astonishing force. I feel grateful for a writer like Ruta Sepetys who bravely tells the hard story of what happens to the innocent when world leaders and their minions choose hate and oppression. Beautiful and unforgettable.”--Susan Campbell Bartoletti, Newbery Honor–winning author of Hitler Youth

“Sepetys has penned a harrowing and heartbreaking novel. Beautifully written and important.”--Harlan Coben, international bestselling author of Shelter

It's an important historically accurate story about Soviet Union atrocities during WWII. Well written, not the best performance though.

Soviet atrocities during WWII tend to get forgotten, this book sheds light on the inhumane treatment and genocide of the innocent people Stalin deemed unworthy of his perfect country. Heartbreaking, not giving you space to breathe but nevertheless unputdownable.
An interview with the author at the end was a great addition to the production.
The narrator is a letdown.

Brilliant

An interesting story of a little known aspect of history, that I find fascinating. It is well performed and an excellent story overall. I would have liked a little more comprehensive ending but I still greatly enjoyed it.

I accepted listening to the truth about my own country and homeland. I avoided it for a long time even when family members have been personally affected such atrocities.

The vivid images

Well..I would love to say I enjoyed the book but recording was bad, very bad. No pause where was necessary, cheerful voice tone where is sad and etc. It took the beauty of the story, my story as well as I am Lithuanian.

A part of history, our history
