Book Review: “Between Shades of Grey”

The year is 1941 and World War II is raging in Lithuania, where 15-year-old Lina lives. It isn’t long before Soviet officers send Lina, her brother, and her mother through the Arctic Circle and into a Siberian work camp. Despite the freezing temperatures, cruel working conditions, and heartless officers, Lina manages to record her hardships in art and prose so that one day her story might be shared with the people and the world she had to leave behind.
