If you're looking for a great historical romantic fictional read, this is it.
Set in Leningrad just prior to the German blockade of 1941, the book captures one family's odyssey of the war between Russia and Germany. Since the author herself was raised in Leningrad, the description of the city and it's culture is accurate and engaging.
Two sisters in the family draw the focus of the reader throughout the book as they have the unfortunate fate to fall in love with the same soldier. And not just any soldier, but one with a secret identity that could make him an enemy of his own country if discovered.
You can read an excerpt of the book and even see photos of the actual apartment the author describes by linking to her website below.
