Stalingrad, a Novel by Vasily Grossman
A great Oxfam charity shop find, Vasily Grossman's Stalingrad (the author of "Life and Fate" which was also set in and around the Stalingrad era, particularly the massive Soviet Counterattack outside teh city and heroic characters within the city). It was an instant "no brainer" purchase for me (see below, this one will be read the old fashion way with a cup of coffee to hand):
This is on my list...... I am about three quarters of the way through Life and Fate at the moment....it has taken me a while to get this far!
ReplyDeleteFinding the time to read is a challenge, sometimes I cheat and use audible but it is back to the Mk1 eyeball for this .. enjoy Life and Fate - no spoilers but it is worth it
