I really enjoyed listening to this book, taking you during the siege of Leningrad (now St Petersbourg) in WWII. Through two characters that make for a lovable and often funny duo, the author has us experience the adversity, absurdity, inequalities and terrible life conditions during that time, both in the city and outside of the German lines.
