1941. aastal valmistub viieteistkümneaastane Lina kunstikooliks, esimesteks kohtamisteks ja kõigeks, mida suvel on pakkuda. Ent ühel ööl tungib Nõukogude salapolitsei nende koju ning küüditab Lina koos ema ja noorema vennaga. Nad saadetakse Siberisse. Lina isa eraldatakse perekonnast ja mõistetakse vangilaagris surma. Kõik on kadunud.

Lina võitleb kartmatult elu eest, tõotades endale, et kui ta jääb ellu, mälestab ta oma lähedasi ja tuhandeid endasuguseid, jäädvustades nende läbielatu joonistustes ja kirjutustes. Ta riskib kõigega, pannes oma sõnumid kunsti keelde, lootes, et need jõuavad vangilaagrisse ja annavad isale teada, et nad on elus.

Teekond on pikk ja vaevarikas. Vaid uskumatu jõud, armastus ja lootus aitavad Linal ja tema omastel ühe päeva teise järel üle elada. Ent kas ainult armastusest aitab ellujäämiseks?

„Hallaaegade algus” on lummav teos, mis võtab hinge kinni, paelub südame ja toob ilmsiks inimvaimu imelise loomuse.

5.0 Hallaaegade algus by Ruta Sepetys
It took me less than a day to read this book. It was such a sad and powerful story. I'm thankful that Ruta Sepetys has written it because I often have a feeling that people from other countries (in America and Western Europe) know quite well what Hitler did during the WW 2, but know a lot less about...

3.5 Heart-wrenching book about a young Lithuanian girl during WWII; describes a forgotten chapter we should not rush to forget
I read this as one of the picks for the Litsy (Team YA) Postal Book Club I am in, and am glad it was chosen, even though I often do not choose historical fiction much these days to read. Especially when I expect it to bring me to tears (or remind me how little I know about how the Soviets and Stalin...

The Baltic countries of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are countries that fell off the map in 1941 when the Soviet Union invaded and deported anti Soviet people to Siberia to work camps. These people weren't freed until 1954 and went home to nothing and the reputation of a criminal. These counties d...

4.0 Between Shades of Gray
This story has tons of feels. It's about when Stalin was invading countries. The author's note speaks about how everyone knows of Hitler, but many don't know that Stalin was doing horrible things. Because of how Russia was communist until the 90's people weren't allowed to talk about it before so...

5.0 Between Shades of Gray
Though the whole book you are afraid for the characters, who will live and who will die. Because you know in this setting, someone and probably a lot of people will die. I felt for all the characters, I just can’t imagine what it would have been like to be in that situation. I adore the main charact...
