The Resource Sepetys, Ruta

Description: Ruta Sepetys writes graceful, often wrenching, historical fiction. Rich in both historical detail and complex humanity, her stories tend to highlight darker, lesser-known parts of history. She often focuses her intricately plotted novels on strong young women facing difficult, perhaps insurmountable, circumstances. Her characters are well developed and her prose is always elegant and unsparing. At the heart of her writing is the theme of survival -- it drives her stories and her characters to their often heartbreaking ends. Start with: Between Shades of Gray
