Author:Benioff, David. Khaled Hosseini Four months into the siege of Leningrad, the city is starving. Dawn brings, instead of an execution squad, an impossible challenge. Lev and Kolya can find a dozen eggs for an NKVD colonel to use for his daughter's wedding cake, and live.

About this product

Product Information

Four months into the siege of Leningrad, the city is starving. Seventeen-year-old Lev fears for his life when he is arrested for looting the body of a dead German paratrooper, while his charismatic cellmate Kolya, a handsome young soldier arrested for desertion, seems bizarrely unafraid. Dawn brings, instead of the execution squad, an impossible challenge. Lev and Kolya can find a dozen eggs for an NKVD colonel to use for his daughter's wedding cake, and live. Or fail, and die. In the depths of the coldest winter in history, through a city cut off from all supplies and suffering appalling deprivation, man and boy embark on an absurd hunt. Their search will take them through desolate, lawless Leningrad and the devastated countryside surrounding it, in the captivating journey of two men trying to survive against desperate odds.

Wonderfully written and gives insight into an important historical event.
This has got to be one of the best fiction books I've ever read yet it was based on actual WWII events. It has you on the edge wondering what will happen next. The only downside was it was too short. Excellent writing draws you in as though you are actually there.

Excellent!
Excellent story about the siege of Leningrad. Unbelievably it has a lot of humor in it while telling of the horrors of the siege. It is a quick read but one which will hold you to it until the end.

Wonderful read. Worth the time.
I purchased this book because it was recommended in the New York Times Book Review section.The book is well written with good character and plot development. The location of the story is unique too. The story takes place during WWII and the siege of Moscow. The descriptions of the cold of Russia and the hunger which ensued from the siege and the suffering of the characters were so vividly written, that I could almost feel all the sensations. The story flows. I found it difficult to put down the book.
