Description
City of Thieves, a captivating novel about war, courage, survival and a remarkable friendship that ripples across a lifetime, is set against the backdrop of the siege of Leningrad. In the depths of the coldest winter in history, a desperate hunt unfolds as two men, a young soldier and a boy, embark on an absurd quest to survive against desperate odds.
With the city cut off from all supplies and suffering appalling deprivation, Lev and Kolya must navigate desolate, lawless Leningrad and the devastated countryside surrounding it. Their search for a dozen eggs to use for an NKVD colonel's daughter's wedding cake becomes a matter of life and death, testing their courage, ingenuity and humanity.
