Description
Galina's world was forever changed by the siege of Leningrad in 1941. As an eight-year-old girl, she and her friend Katya struggled to survive amidst the hardships of war. Galina's father, Mikhail, had been kept away from the front lines to help preserve the treasures of the Hermitage. Nearly 40 years later, Galina is a teacher at the Leningrad Art Institute, but her life takes an unexpected turn when she makes a discovery that will have a profound impact on her future. As she navigates this new reality, Galina must confront the changing world around her and the secrets of her own past. Molly Gartland's debut novel is a compelling and thought-provoking tale that explores themes of ageing, nostalgia, and the complexities of life in Russia during times of great change.
