Just finished this wonderful novel by David Benioff. Easy-to-read, suspenseful, violent, with multiple levels of angst, terror and love.
This is cleverly written by Benioff. He uses the Leningrad blockade and war stories of his grandfather (really?), accounts of the blockade obtained through research, and his own creative weaving of fact and fiction, character creation, and a dozen eggs to deliver a story I could not put down. His novel is a reflection of great storytelling and disciplined pacing. It was worth every page-turning moment!
Pull up your favorite reading chair and step into war-torn Pita this Summer. You'll enjoy the trip!
