The Madonnas of Leningrad: A Novel by Debra DeanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Marina's memory is fading. She cannot remember why she is standing at her sink in her kitchen on a sunny day; but she does remember her life as a tour guide in The Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia during the war. She remembers facing starvation and misery to preserve the art of the city. The art now returns the gift and offers her solace. A beautiful, art-filled story of war and remembrance.
