Struggle and loss in the horrors of the siege of the city of Leningrad in 1941. Helen Dunmore observed in an interview for The Observer (Sunday June 10, 2001): "What I wanted to do by writing the novel was to focus on this small group of people and to create a world which is felt and tasted and rooted. It's not an overview of the siege, it's an inner view" Methodology: Group and pair work. Previous reading of the novel is presupposed.
