Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

5.0

This book is phenomenal! I’m so glad I got to experience reading this story about how the Soviets in WW2 were affecting the lives of many Europeans, including the Lithuanians. This part of WW2 history is definitely brushed over and I believe everyone should read this book to better understand the impact of communism in that time. I cried multiple times reading this..there was heartbreaking moments but also moments that showed the light of human kindness in cruel times. This is an amazing story that I can’t recommend enough!
