"Set in Leningrad in 1941 against Hitler's invasion of Russia, this story tells of the impossible love between a Russian girl, Tatiana, and a young officer named Alexander. It is a love that could tear Tatiana's family apart and it carries a secret that could mean death for anyone who hears it."

This is a wonderful book, one of the best I have read for a long time. I have a copy on my permanent shelf, this one is to share.

many thanks for noticing and hunting another copy for me.
