Description

… A small, cozy communal apartment—loving mother and father, friendly children, and an old neighbor who’s a nun.
The last peaceful, happy Sunday. It all ended in an instant with the war that burst into the world… Blockaded Leningrad.
Fear and courage, heroism and betrayal—all flipped and mixed in the merciless fire that spared no one.
The unbearable ticking of the metronome, throwing human hearts off rhythm.
The first death notice. First love.
Bombs, fires, horror, and hunger. Death…
Two little sisters who survived the terrible bombardment, wandering through an unfamiliar, endless forest…
How will the heroes of the book’s story turn out? Will anyone of them survive?…
All this happened, and we will never be able to forget it.
Eternal memory to you, dear ones!
The book is based on real events.
