There are a lot of historical reference to Russia during the war. Anya has told her daughters, Meredith and Nina, a fairytale which turns into a reality by the end of the book. It is a tearjerker that you won't be able to forget and one you should not miss! ...more

Rarely can a book move me to tears. This one did, more than once. Maybe when I can settle my mind from this powerful read, I will be able to do a proper review. For now, I would just like to recommend this to all my GR friends.
