I have today posted a review of a book called The End of Sorrows: a Novel of the Siege of Leningrad in WWII over at Historical Tapestry.
This book was set in Leningrad during WWII when the city was under siege of over 1 million of the 3 million residents died. This is a setting that I have read several books about over the last couple of years since reading The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons, and I am sure to read other books that I come across in the future with this setting as well.
Are there any books that you have read that have sparked your interest in a particular place or time?

Cease to Blush by Billie Livingstone ignited my interest in the rat pack and their time period. it was a good book.
ReplyDeleteDebra Dean's The Madonnas Of Leningrad is also a wonderful book of that time, the siege of Leningrad. Beautiful images in the book, the beauty of the human spirit.
ReplyDeleteI read that one a while ago! It wasn't a bad read!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read Posie Graeme-Evans The Innocents, I became fascinated with the whole "War of the Roses" era. Couldn't get enough of it!
