An immersive testament to the sustaining power of art and the sheer will of a community to carry on in the face of tyranny and utter destruction.
This account of the Siege of Leningrad reveals the role played by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich and his "Leningrad Symphony" in rallying and commemorating his fellow citizens.

I'm an adult services librarian and I seem to find a new book for my reading list around every corner. Just don't count on my reading them all, since I like to take my sweet time becoming fully immersed in each story and subject (whether fictional, historical or technical) once I'm hooked. Otherwise, you'll find me cartooning, dreaming up new stories and hitting the trails of Ohio for more hiking and nature-watching.
