 A magnificent epic of love, war and Russia from the international
bestselling author of TULLY and ROAD TO PARADISE
Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer illuminate a city of
fallen grandeur whose palaces and avenues speak of a different age,
when Leningrad was known as St Petersburg. Two sisters, Tatiana
and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one room with their brother
and parents. The routine of their hard impoverished life is shattered
on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the Metanov
family, for Leningrad and particularly for Tatiana, life will never be
the same again. On that fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young
man named Alexander. The family suffers as Hitler's army advances
on Leningrad, and the Russian winter closes in. With bombs falling
and the city under siege, Tatiana and Alexander are drawn
inexorably to each other, but theirs is a love that could tear Tatiana's
family apart, and at its heart lies a secret that could mean death to
anyone who hears it.
Confronted on the one hand by Hitler's vast war machine, and on the
other by a Soviet system determined to crush the human spirit,
Tatiana and Alexander are pitted against the very tide of history, at a
turning point in the century that made the modern world.
