Between Shades of Gray Ruta Sepetys Books

I've struggled with writing my review for this remarkable, powerful, moving book. How do I put into words my thoughts and feelings over reading a story that brings to light something that really happened? Ruta Sepetys gives a voice to something that never should have been allowed to happen, and yet it's apart of our world's history, but something rarely taught. Between the Shades of Gray is one of the most empowering books that I've ever read.

In the rein of Stalin's terror it's estimated he killed over 20 million people, with the states of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia losing more than a third of their population. How could something like this happen? Honestly, I do not understand how Hilter's horrors have been told, but never Stalin's. I can't imagine how emotional it must have been for Ruta to research and give a voice to the story. Ruta's words for Between the Shades of Gray are beautiful, moving and will stay with me for a long time to come.

This story carries a message of love, hope and belief! It made me think, it made me cry and it's moved me in away I never thought possible. I know that many of the characters are fictional, but the story itself it not and it's one I am grateful to have read. I was shocked to learn that those who survived this hell were forced to keep this a secret! I can't imagine! This story needed a voice and it's one I want to share with everyone.

Lina's story isn't one that's just emotional, as I mentioned above it's empowering to know that no matter what they had to endure, their love, hope and beliefs did not waiver. One of the most powerful lines came from Lina's mother when she told her, "A wrong doing doesn't give us the right to do wrong." It wasn't hard for me to understand Lina's feelings and feel her emotion, but her mother is the one that left the biggest impression on me. She is the essence of love and hope and never giving up. I would hope that I could have a fraction of her strength.

I would hope that this is a book that everyone reads. It's not necessary a heavy read, as Ruta has a way of brining her story to life through a teenage girl, Lina, making it part a coming of age story. It's a courageous to tell and I am at a loss for words. To say I'm grateful that Ruta brought this story to life sounds wrong, as unthinkable things happened to millions of people. I'm grateful Ruta gave the story a voice, and that I have had the chance to read this remarkable story. I have a profound feeling of gratitude after reading it. I hope that Between The Shades of Gray doesn't just make it into personal libraries, but also schools and history classes. This story has been told and now it just needs to be heard.

Between Shades of Gray Ruta Sepetys Books Reviews

I'm writing this review with a heavy heart, this book was hard for me to get through. Not because it was bad by any means it was one of the most beautiful books I've read in along time. It was hard for me because of how heart breaking and devastating it was. I went from hope to sadness to anger constantly throughout my time reading this book. At one point in time I had to put it down because of how broken and devastated I was for Lina, her family and the thousands of people who lost their lives or lost someone during this ugly time period. I still cannot believe that these events actually happened. I cannot believe that people were forced to endure these conditions because they were helping their families or teaching or just living their normal lives. It's sick that they were treated this way. I want to sob for these people I want to hug these people, I want to mourn for these people. I just want to continue reading books like these so that their stories don't die with them. I'm so sorry that they had to live these events. I admire their bravery, I admire their will to go on because I know for a fact that not everyone could have done that. It's incredible. I'm so glad I got to experience this book. Well done Ruta Sepetys. Thank you for taking the time to give these people voices and for finally allowing them to have their stories told the way it was supposed to.
This book follows the life of Lena’s family and other families when they were hauled away by the Soviet secret police. They are thrown into a cattle car en route to Siberia. Lina and her family are separated from her father and in order to reach his prison camp, she passes along clues in the form of drawings. But will that be enough to be reunited again?

“Sure, we were safe. Safe in the arms of hell.”

I don’t have a lot to say about this book because I just can’t. This book left me speechless. It was so fascinating how Ruta Sepetys wrote a tragic story to let us know the truth about the crimes of Stalin. I don’t even know how those people survived such terrible things, but as Ruta said, they had love and they survived through love. Not just love in a romantic way, it was love for a lot of things, especially their families.

I was hooked with the story since the first chapter. Ruta’s writing is beautiful, and even though this isn’t a love story (for me), it was beautiful in its own way. I liked how those people did almost the impossible to survive, to feed their children, to find their lost ones. There was sorrow, pain, suffering, loss, love but most important, there was hope. Every single death touched my heart, and when I read this book I had to hold my tears because if I started crying, I wouldn’t stop.

“Evil will rule until good men or women choose to act.”

As soon as I finished this I didn’t know what to do. You know, after reading such a tragic story is very hard to forget about it, to just pretend you didn’t read that ugly side of history… of humanity. History teachers should give this book to their students because I think is extremely important to know this side of the story… to know the truth. I know this is a story of fictional characters, but what makes it important is that this story reflects the true story that took the lives of 20 millions of innocent people, and that’s a LOT of people. I’m pretty sure most of us didn’t know this side of the story, and also we think our history classes failed us, but know you can educate yourself thanks to Ruta Sepetys.

I don’t encourage people to read this book because it is pretty or happy, because it isn’t. I encourage people because this story is important. It’s not always easy to write such a serious topic for young adults but I think Ruta did it and captured it perfectly.
