I read this June 2013
Why: I found this in a charity shop and as I had read some of hers before.
This one is about the 1941 siege of Leningrad. I don't think I had really thought about how awful it must have been before and reading how it effects a family brought home the real impact of what life must have been like. So many people died that winter -blockaded in. I also hadn't thought how dependent a city - any city is on the import of goods, as there is no farming, stockkeeping even smallholdings. Chilling
