Review


This is a hard hitting book, told through the eyes of a 15yr old girl called Lina.

I have to say that I was not very aware of what Stalin did before reading this as in school you only really learn about Hitler and what he did.

The torture thatvthese people went through is unbelievable and the starving ......dear god the starving.

I think that as a YA book this was not as gruesome as it could have been and it has been filtered down a LOT for the market that it is intended for, however it is a lovely written book.

The characters are very strong and I was rooting for them the whole time, apart from the bald headed man.....I didn't like him at all.

The acknowledgement at the end of the audiobook is lovely and shows how dedicated the author was to research and write this.

A 5* read
