Hitler's armies race toward vulnerable Leningrad. In a matter of weeks, the Nazis surround the city, cut off the food supply, and launch a vicious bombardment. Widowed violinist Sofya Karavayeva and her teenage granddaughter, Yelena, are cornered in the crumbling city. On Leningrad's outskirts, Admiral Vasili Antonov defends his homeland and fights for a future with Sofya. Meanwhile, Yelena's soldier fiancÌ transports food across the Ice Road--part of the desperate effort to save Leningrad. With their help, the two women inch toward survival, but the war still exacts a steep personal price, even as Sofya's reckoning with a family secret threatens to finish what Hitler started. Equal parts war epic, family saga, and love story, Lost Souls of Leningrad brings to vivid life this little-known chapter of World War II in a tale of two remarkable women--grandmother and granddaughter--separated by years and experience but of one heart in their devotion to each other and the men they love. Neither the oppression of Stalin nor the brutality of Hitler can destroy their courage, compassion, or will in this testament to resilience."-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Saint Petersburg (Russia) $x History $y Siege, 1941-1944 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women violinists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grandparent and child $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20240620010201.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021817.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20230603011020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=246206F87C4611ED8ADB271624ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
