About this listen

 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • This timeless, heart-wrenching novel tells the story of one teenage girl’s fight for survival with her family at a Soviet labor camp during World War II (also pubished as Between Shades of Gray).

"Few books are beautifully written, fewer still are important; this novel is both."—The Washington Post

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Columbus Dispatch

Fifteen-year-old Lina is a Lithuanian girl living an ordinary life—until Soviet officers invade her home and tear her family apart. Separated from her father and forced onto a crowded train, Lina, her mother, and her young brother make their way to a Siberian work camp, where they are forced to fight for their lives. Lina finds solace in her art, documenting these events by drawing. Risking everything, she embeds clues in her drawings of their location and secretly passes them along, hoping they will make their way to her father's prison camp. But will strength, love, and hope be enough for Lina and her family to survive?
