Between Shades of Grey is a beautiful and impactful story. I enjoy books and movies that take place during the Second World War. This has to be one of the best I've read. I think one of the things I appreciated most was that it opened my eyes to a part of history I really didn't know much about. We all know that Stalin was a ruthless dictator whose policies led to the death of millions of innocents, but to get such an intimate accounting was very compelling.
