Between Shades of Gray

One of the best historical fictions I've read yet! Loved it.

Grea book about Lithuanian history.

A friend gave me one of the series and loved it so much I wanted to read more from this author. Not disappointed!

So sad but a great read😢😢

Great and undertold story about Lithuania during WW2.

I was completely unaware of the way Lithuanians were treated during WW2. They are definitely under represented when people discuss the horrors of that war. Great story.

One of my all time favorite books, this is such a well written and compelling account of a Lithuanian family and their tragic journey through Russian labor camps. It is a tear jerker, and incredibly insightful, even though the story isn't true, the elements of truth portrade about the events that happened durring the Stalin era are eye opening.
