I enjoyed The Madonnas of Leningrad. It gives you a good feel for day to day life in Leningrad while it is under siege by the Germans. I think the author missed an opportunity by not incorporating better use of the knowledge Marina acquired of the artistic works in the museum. Another interesting book that also covers Leningrad during this same horrific era is City of Thieves: A Novel by David Benioff
