City of Thieves, by David Benioff

Reader: Gwyn

This was a great book. David Benioff was able to take a gruesome tale of atrocities in Russia, during the winter of 1942, and make it a heartwarming coming of age story. I'm afraid to say much more, because much of the joy of reading the book was the discovery of what would happen next to the young protagonist.

At least 2 people in the family had recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad I listened to their advice. My question for others who read this book is: Is this really the story of Benioff's grandfather?
