A magnificent epic of love, war and Russia from the international bestselling author of TULLY and ROAD TO PARADISE Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer illuminate a city of fallen grandeur whose palaces and avenues speak of a different age, when Leningrad was known as St Petersburg. Two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one room with their brother and parents. The routine of their hard impoverished life is shattered on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the Metanov family, for Leningrad and particularly for Tatiana, life will never be the same again. On that fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young man named Alexander. The family suffers as Hitler's army advances on Leningrad, and the Russian winter closes in. With bombs falling and the city under siege, Tatiana and Alexander are drawn inexorably to each other, but theirs is a love that could tear Tatiana's family apart, and at its heart lies a secret that could mean death to anyone who hears it. Confronted on the one hand by Hitler's vast war machine, and on the other by a Soviet system determined to crush the human spirit, Tatiana and Alexander are pitted against the very tide of history, at a turning point in the century that made the modern world.

评分“当时他们青春年少” 现在我们依旧青春年少,会为了一个简单的理由走过任何一条马路,走到对面。 等我们长大,我们会因为内心和外来的压力,知道回不了头,知道不被允许回头了,于是有些人匍匐下身子爬过命运的栅栏,肩膀一点一点的低下去,被埋到土里。而有人会昂起头越过命...

评分涅瓦河”沸腾的像是一壶滚水,像是野兽忽然发了疯“更为后文中欧根的丧失理智做了铺垫,暗示了欧根的悲惨结局。洪水在这里对于欧根来说不仅是单纯的自然灾害,更象征着之前他所受到的种种来自出身,社会的伤害的全面爆发,即是他失心疯的原因。
评分非常推荐的一本书,满腹的溢美之词无法形容,总之读过绝不会后悔。可惜不知道什么原因受众很少。看来是再版了,祝愿更多人读过此书,得到心灵的安宁,体尝人世的艰辛,喟叹历史的浩瀚,更赞美伟大到无与伦比的爱情。
