'It is impossible to exaggerate the power of this short, unbearably
poignant novel.' Mail on Sunday 'A bold and elegant novel' Helen
Dunmore, Guardian 'A haunting story, beautifully told' Viv Groskop,
Observer An extraordinary story of love and endurance during the
Siege of Leningrad lies at the heart of a magnificent novel about
Russia past and present, and the human condition. One night in St
Petersburg, two men meet, both adrift in the brash new Russia:
Shutov, a writer visiting after years of exile in Paris, and
Volsky, an elderly survivor of the Siege of Leningrad and Stalin's
purges. His life story - one of extreme suffering, courage and an
extraordinary love - he considers unremarkable. To Shutov it is a
revelation, the tale of an unsung hero that puts everything into
perspective and suggests where true happiness lies.
