Narrative In Favor Of Books Between Shades of Gray

Lina is just like any other fifteen-year-old Lithuanian girl in 1941. She paints, she draws, she gets crushes on boys. Until one night when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they've known. Separated from her father, forced onto a crowded and dirty train car, Lina, her mother, and her young brother slowly make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they are forced, under Stalin's orders, to dig for beets and fight for their lives under the cruelest of conditions. Lina finds solace in her art, meticulously--and at great risk--documenting events by drawing, hoping these messages will make their way to her father's prison camp to let him know they are still alive. It is a long and harrowing journey, spanning years and covering 6,500 miles, but it is through incredible strength, love, and hope that Lina ultimately survives. Between Shades of Gray is a novel that will steal your breath and capture your heart.

Comment On About Books Between Shades of Gray

ruta sepetys has stated that when survivors are gone, we have the obligation to not let the truth disappear with them. that we need to give them a voice. and i think she does that so perfectly with this novel.what i really appreciated about this book in particular was the awareness brought to one aspect of WWII that tends to be forgotten. i see countless of stories about the atrocities hitler condoned against the jewish, and i think we all tend to get caught up in that that we forget there was

Finished this in a couple sittings. What a blow to the heart. So beautiful, devastating, and important.

If you enjoy historical fiction or young adult books I think you'll be interested in reading this one."Between Shades of Gray" brings to light a period of WW2 history that has been overlooked or forgotten; set in the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.Before the 2nd WW began the Communist dictator Stalin, knew war with the Nazi's was looming and had concerns about the Baltic countries abilities to protect the Russian border from Hitler. So he invades them and arrests all lawyers,

I tried to sketch but couldnt. When I started to draw, the pencil moved by itself, propelled by something hideous that lived inside of me. Oh my goodness ! Perfect Historical fiction book. It's more than my expectations and quite contemplate with "The Thousand splendid suns". Praiseworthy one, Enjoyed every word.Words and ratings on here couldn't exactly defines this book........Ruta Sepetys, I Love You ! ! !What a splendid writing and expressions of Lina, she has made.Just like she has

Exactly a year before, the Soviets have begun moving troops over the borders into the country. Then, in August, Lithuania was officially annexed into the Soviet Union. When I complained at the dinner table, Papa yelled at me and told me to never, ever say anything derogatory about the Soviets. He sent me to my room. I didnt say anything out loud after that. But I thought about it a lot.Despite her fathers caution, 15-year-old Lena Vilkas, her 10-year-old brother Jonas and their mother Elena are

This is not a pretty book.Even though I found this novel exceptionally well-written, it was not a pleasure to read. Its about Lithuanians displaced to Siberian work camps during World War II. It was pretty unflinchingly brutal, but heres why I think you ought to read it:1. It is a side of World War II that you might not have seen before. I certainly hadnt heard these stories of displaced Europeans, and I have to say, having been to Lithuania on tour last year, it made so much of what they said

Hope * Survival * Love * FaithWell that was another enlightening, emotional, and an absolutely awesome 5* read! BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY by RUTA SEPETYS is a deeply moving, compelling, heart-wrenching, and a powerful read which is beautifully written that captured my heart from the very first chapter. This was definitely another page-turner and extremely hard to put down.A tiny sliver of gold appeared between shades of gray on the horizon.   BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY is a brilliant title for this
