Praise for Between Shades of Gray

“A harrowing page-turner.”

Publisher’s Weekly

“Ms. Sepetys’s prose is wonderfully uncluttered and sometimes beautiful… a superb though grueling novel.”

The Wall Street Journal

“Her prose is restrained and powerful, as unadorned as the landscape in which her characters struggle to survive… Few books are beautifully written, fewer still are important; this novel is both.”

The Washington Post

“An engrossing and poignant story of the fortitude of the human spirit in a dark time in Lithuanian history.”

Associated Press

“A superlative first novel. A hefty emotional punch.”

New York Times Book Review

“Brave Lina is a heroine young and old readers can believe in.”

Entertainment Weekly

“An eye-opening reimagination of a very real tragedy written with grace and heart.”

Los Angeles Times

“Please read this small window into a tragedy.”
