    <body><![CDATA[This is an excellent World War II story set in and around St. Petersburg (aka Leningrad) in 1942.  Lev is arrested for looting a German corpse and Kolya is arrested for desertion.  A colonel gives them a choice: die by execution or find him a dozen eggs for his daughter's wedding in four days.  They choose the latter.  The story is funny, horrble, suspenseful, heart-breaking and exciting.  It draws you in completely and the writing has that effortless feeling.  Great characters too.  I really wouldn't want to tell you anything more.  It's best to discover this story on your own.  It's a quick read. ]]></body>
