A robust and haunting debut novel about a little-known cut of history. Lina is merely like any other 15-year-old Lithuanian girl in 1941. She paints, she pulls, she gets crushes on children - until one nighttime when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they've known. Separated from her father, required onto a congested and dirty coach car, Lina, her mother, and her young sibling little by little make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they may be required, under Stalin's orders, to dig for beets and fight for his or her lives under the cruelest of conditions. Lina discovers solace in her art work, meticulously - with great risk - documenting occasions by drawing, wishing these messages can make their way to her father's prison camp to tell him they remain alive. It really is a long and harrowing voyage, spanning years and covering 6,500 miles, but it is through outstanding strength, love, and desire that Lina ultimately survives. Between Hues of Gray is a novel that will steal your breath and get your heart.
