Publisher's Summary
The golden skies, the translucent twilight, the white nights all hold the promise of youth, of love, of eternal renewal. The war has not yet touched this city of fallen grandeur or the lives of two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha Metanova, who share a single room in a cramped apartment with their brother and parents. Their world is turned upside down when Hitler's armies attack Russia and begin their unstoppable blitz to Leningrad.
Yet there is light in the darkness. Tatiana meets Alexander, a brave young officer in the Red Army. Strong and self-confident yet guarding a mysterious and troubled past, he is drawn to Tatiana - and she to him. Starvation, desperation, and fear soon grip their city during the terrible winter of the merciless German siege. Tatiana and Alexander's impossible love threatens to tear the Metanova family apart and expose the dangerous secret Alexander so carefully protects - a secret as devastating as the war itself - as the lovers are swept up in the brutal tides that will change the world and their lives forever.

My new favourite book
I have read this novel twice, and now listened to the audiobook too! This novel deserves the five star rating, it has INCREDIBLE imagery, character development, and is exciting, tragic, and romantic. I prefer it in the book version rather than audiobook, but the narrator could not have done a better job! This story made me laugh, cry, get mad, and feel the excitement and uncertainty of young love. However, this is not your average love story. I strongly recommend.

Beautifully constructed
There are a number of parts in this that reminded me of the joy of reading (in this case listening) to stories. The story of these characters is quiet sweet and it is worth the read for the historical fiction lovers as well. There is definitely a realistic element that gives this story edge but that adds to the experience. James’ performance is excellent.

Great epic love story...but so long
the narrator was great, I was not sure a male narrator could pull it off but he did. The story is beautiful and the setting is so engaging. It does drag on however, not sure why the publisher let it be published without more edits. Its a time committment for sure.

a historical romance
Have not really read a book like this before. I really enjoyed the 'historical' aspect of life in Russia during WWII. At times it got a bit 'over the top' with sexual descriptions, but the plot really kept you interested.
In terms of narration, James Langton does a GREAT job of all the male voices and all the accents, but his female heroine unfortunately had a high shrill voice that did not match her 'character' and I found that off putting.....as long as he just keeps doing male voices, he's great!

Too much Sex
I was disappointed. The first half of the book makes you feel like you were in Leningrad at the time of the war. And then all of a sudden it changes from historical fiction to erotica.
