ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Between Shades of Gray, by Ruta Sepetys, is a historical novel set during World War II that explores the little-known history of the Baltic states under Soviet occupation. The story follows Lina, a 15-year-old aspiring artist, whose life is shattered when she and her family are forcibly deported from Lithuania to Siberia in 1941. The novel depicts the brutality and dehumanizing conditions endured by Lina and fellow deportees as they face starvation, disease, and the constant threat of violence from the NKVD. Amidst this hardship, Lina finds solace in her art, secretly documenting the atrocities she witnesses and preserving the memories of those lost. The novel explores themes of survival, resilience, the power of hope, the importance of family and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable suffering.
