I really, really enjoyed this book. I had read about the Hermitage evacuation of art and the seige of Leningrad in Tatiana and Alexander by Paullina Simons (a wonderful series). It was very interesting to read the details of the process. The story captured my imagination and my only negative thing to say is that I would have loved for the story to be longer. I thought the relationship between the main characters was touching and powerful. I thought it was interesting that the thing that allowed Marina to make it through the war, the ability of her sharp mind to imagine and recall, was the thing that failed her at the end of her life. I would definitely recommend this book.
