Wow! what a great read. This is a story very simply told about a Lithuanian Family sent to the Soviet work camps during the time of Stalin and the second world war. The horrors of what this family and so many ordinary families endured during the reign of Stalin is shocking and I am glad to be shocked as I think every reader should read a book like this as it is an education in so many ways. Although Shades of Gray is about a fictional family the story is the truth of what happened to many innocent families. When I finished this novel I wanted to know more and did some research online to educate myself as I would not have been familiar with the history of the baltic states. Second read/ book club 2015
