NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the award-winning author of Salt to the Sea comes a superb, eye-opening novel of survival and hope in the darkest of places—the inspiration for the major motion picture Ashes in the Snow.
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.
