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.

人们读文学,有时候不仅是享受书中的故事,同时也是认识历史的一种方式。作为大众最爱读的文学,也不断展现了世界上不同时期、不同疆域人们的生活状态。有些故事中的国家和人以及他们的生活,若不是因为一本小说的出版,人们是永远不会了解到的。有些国家,甚至于世界历史教科...
评分有很多地名莫名其妙就会唤醒内心深藏的文艺情怀,哪怕现如今“文艺”这个词语已经被用烂,而对于我,西伯利亚就是这样一个地方。西伯利亚,平平仄仄,仿佛简简单单的几个音节中蕴含着无限的情感和故事。曾经看到一篇博文:《从北京到莫斯科》,六天五夜,车轮与铁轨碰撞的声响...

评分书里是一个我们从未接触过的世界,甚至是难以想象的。所有的人跟货物般,就那么硬生生地往火车里塞,就这样他们被送往了没有人类踪迹的西伯利亚。在那里,各自被都分配到不同的地方劳动,忍受着军官的各种折磨。每天都是在疲惫与饥饿中度过,随着时间的流逝,食物到最后成了人...
跟夹边沟纪事属于一个范畴,读完还是蛮压抑的。
评分很好看!
评分在中国的历史书中读到的苏联永远都是及其正义的形象,包括斯大林。却不知他们对立陶宛拉脱维亚等这些夹在苏德中间的小国家做着和希特勒一样的灭绝人性的事情。这种程度的战争感觉永远没有绝对正义的一边,suffer的永远都是无辜的人民。然后去wikipedia了一下那一段历史,才惊觉中国大跃进和文革都是苏联玩剩下的东西,真是沿着老大哥的错误路线完整的走了一遍。
