About this listen

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.

I read another review about the narrator that explained my thoughts. The protagonist was female so it would have been great if the narrator was also female.

Narrator should have been female

I enjoyed the story. I read the first half of the book in paper format and could not put it down. It was not my book, and I had to travel, so I finished it with an audio version.

I did not like the voice of the reader for the characters.

Thank you for writing this amazing, heartfelt love story. I recommend reading the paper version.

I love the book, not the audio.

I’ve loved and read this book so many times I can’t remember how many, but the narration was shockingly awful imo. Should have been female and male. If not just female. Accents appalling. I don’t know how this passed as a narration. Hope it’s remade to represent the fabulous writing.

My favorite book ever
