A piercing, accurate in details, cinematic and very bright love story of yesterday’s schoolgirl Varenka and the young colonel of the NKVD Maxim against the backdrop of the besieged Leningrad.
This book will cause a storm of heterogeneous emotions in the reader. Compassion for the heroes, hope for their salvation, horror that such things could actually happen — all this will make us shudder more than once, as if from an icy wind from the Neva. Sharpening the reader’s perception to the limit, the author gives us the opportunity to look at our current life with new, as if washed eyes, and, re-evaluating its benefits, once again be convinced of the relativity of such concepts as «happiness» and «unhappiness».
