Add a steamy forbidden love to the mix and a secret past that can destroy lives and you’ve got a hell of a story. The author, Paullina Simons, flawlessly paints a detailed picture of how the human spirit can be broken or strengthened when faced with such tragedy and desperation. The story centers on a Russian family and their struggles to survive in Leningrad through the war. If you enjoy learning about historic events while reading a fantastic heart-wrenching story of love, betrayal, and survival this is the read for you. I knew very little about Russia, their culture, and the affects that WWII had on that country. Although extremely sad, since so many thousands of people suffered unbearably or died during Hitler's crusade, I found it extremely fascinating. This is an EPIC compelling read (book one of three) that will take you back in history to WWII – Russia.
