Il vento solleva strati leggeri di fiocchi ghiacciati. Joana ha ventun anni e intorno a sé vede solo una distesa di neve. È fuggita dal suo paese, la Lituania. È fuggita da una colpa a cui non riesce a dare voce. Ma ora davanti a sé ha un nuovo nemico: è il 1945 e la Prussia è invasa dalla Russia. Non ha altra scelta che scappare verso l'unica salvezza possibile: una nave pronta a salpare verso un luogo sicuro. Eppure la costa è lontana chilometri. Chilometri fatti di sete e fame. E Joana non è sola. Accanto a lei ci sono altre anime in fuga, ognuna dal proprio incubo, in viaggio verso la stessa meta.

Ma Joana sa che non si finisce mai di combattere per la propria vita, ed è pronta ad affrontare ogni ostacolo, ogni prova, ogni scherzo del destino...

Lina is just like any other fifteen-year-old Lithuanian girl in 1941. She paints, she draws, she gets crushes on boys. Until one night when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they've known. Separated from her father, forced onto a crowded and dirty train car, Lina, her mother, and her young brother slowly make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they are forced, under Stalin's orders, to dig for beets and fight for their lives under the cruelest of conditions. Lina finds solace in her art, meticulously—and at great risk—documenting events by drawing, hoping these messages will make their way to her father's prison camp to let him know they are still alive. It is a long and harrowing journey, spanning years and covering 6,500 miles, but it is through incredible strength, love, and hope that Lina ultimately survives. Between Shades of Gray is a novel that will steal your breath and capture your heart.
