![]() The author doesn’t spend much time focusing on the lives of Lina and her family when they were still at home together in the beginning and starts straight up with the night they are taken away. Lina and her mother and brother are together while their father is separated from them that night. The protagonist of the story is a fifteen-year-old girl named Lina and her family when they are taken from their home and sent to a labor camp somewhere in Siberia. ![]() The book is about Baltic Deportations with the main focus on Lithuanian citizens who were deported by the Soviet in 1941 to prison and labor camps. Basically, this is a part of History that I never read or studied about before and it completely fascinated me. Now when it comes to studying the history of World War II, the Baltic States were never more than mentioned in textbooks. This book immediately caught my attention because it takes place during World War II and it’s about a Lithuanian girl. I found Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys when I was browsing through the lists of War and Historical novels on different sites. ![]()
