Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
4.0
Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars... I've read many WWII novels but this is my first that focused on the Soviets rather than the Germans. I'm grateful for the exposure it is giving to the suffering of the Baltic countries.
My only issue with the book is the abrupt ending. So many things were left unanswered: There was just more to the story that we didn't get a chance to read.
Lastly, this didn't affect my rating, but the audiobook narrator was awful.

Where was Andrius kept after Lina was taken away? How long was he imprisoned? How did they find each other and how many years had they been apart? What was Jonas's future? Were Lina and Jonas able to transport Elena's body home? etc...Lastly, this didn't affect my rating, but the audiobook narrator was awful.
