This novel fell into my hands quite by chance, and I could not put it down . . . it is the story of two quite different people, set in the time of the siege of Leningrad. A slim book which tells of loyalty and courage, cowardice and friendship and although it was a set book for my teenage grand-daughter, it is perhaps a far more gripping read for adults.
