**FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR 2017**
Leningrad, 1952. Andrei, a young hospital doctor and Anna, a nursery school
teacher, are forging a life together in the post-war, post-siege wreckage. But
their happiness is precarious, like that of millions of Russians who must avoid
the claws of Stalin's merciless Ministry for State security. So when Andrei is
