Songs of the Siege - Paperback

How will Lanya live through this war?

The Germans are stationed outside the city walls, choking the city and expecting surrender. Leningraders are starving with rations so small they are eating shoes. This winter is the worst in many years, people are burning their furniture to stay warm. Spies are everywhere and the Communist Party is telling people they are winning. Weekly bombs have broken every window in the apartment and the Neva is frozen solid. Her sister is killed, her brother is like a three year old, and all she wants to do is be singing on stage again. When she is on stage, there is no war, only music and applause. That is what she wants. But will it ever happen again?
