Leningrad, 1952. Andrei, a young hospital doctor, and Anna, a nursery school teacher, are forging a life together in the postwar, postsiege wreckage. But their happiness is precarious, like that of millions of Russians who must avoid the claws of Stalin's merciless Ministry of State Security.
Leningrad, September 1941. German tanks surround the city, imprisoning those who live there. The besieged people of Leningrad face shells, starvation and the Russian winter. Interweaving two love affairs in two generations, this novel draws us into the Levin's family struggle to stay alive.

JillBennett13 Finally got round to reading Helen Dunmore's 'The Siege' about the Leningrad. Movingly written and gets under the skin of the characters.
