The book talks about the life of an ordinary Leningrad family and the blocking time and years of evacuation. The narrative is conducted on behalf of a 15-year-old schoolgirl, who had to face huge life difficulties that turned out to be fatal for many adults. Her family survived the most terrible blockade winter of 1941-1942, drove along the road of life through Ladoga and coped with difficult living conditions in evacuation.
The author is not trying to shock or greatly impress the reader in the spirit of modern newspaper publications, but is talking about how people remained people in inhuman conditions, when despair, hunger and fear had to prevail over all other feelings. And how the good won evil, when, it would seem, good was just nowhere to come from.
The book is of interest and thanks to detailed households, a story about little -known events, as well as details that have not yet been covered in Russian literature.
