"City of Thieves"
by David Benioff
Four months
into the siege of Leningrad, the city is starving.
Seventeen-year-old Lev fears for his life when he is arrested
for looting the body of a dead German paratrooper, while his
charismatic cellmate Kolya, a handsome young soldier arrested
for desertion, seems bizarrely unafraid. Dawn brings, instead of
the execution squad, an impossible challenge. Lev and Kolya can
find a dozen eggs for an NKVD colonel to use for his daughter's
wedding cake, and live. Or fail, and die. In the depths of the
coldest winter in history, through a city cut off from all
supplies and suffering appalling deprivation, man and boy embark
on an absurd hunt. Their search will take them through desolate,
lawless Leningrad and the devastated countryside surrounding it,
in the captivating journey of two men trying to survive against
desperate odds.
