A review by lyakimov
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

5.0

4.5 stars.

This book gave me a new perspective on the suffering of some of the lesser-known European countries. The genocides of Lithuanians, Latvians, Finnish, and more during World War II is so unknown. I’ve never heard of it before, and it’s horrifying. This book was so upsetting. These kinds of injustices are just unimaginable and it’s horrible that tens of millions of people have never gotten justice, and have never even had anyone tell their stories. I’m going to be thinking about this book for a long time.
