Between Shades of Gray
Ruta Sepetys manages to take a horrific (and little publicised) topic such as that of the Lithuanian genocide and find the words not only to make it incredibly powerful and tear-inducing, but also to choose the words that create a beautifully composed story. There is nothing negative that I can say about this story and the one thing I can say otherwise is this: I will share this book far and wide. Jonas' story will not be forgotten.
