First of all, I was attracted to the cover for this book; not sure what it reminded me of, but it clearly spoke to me. This is World War II, Nazi's attacking Leningrad, two young men on a quest for a dozen eggs. Okay, I was ready for a romp--a Twelve Chairs sort of adventure. This is clearly a much darker, more violent and sadder story, but gripping and very moving. I was drawn in and was very glad I stumbled across this book. 05/28/16 Read again for a book discussion. Remains an emotionally satisfying read. Love it!
