Bread of that winter

How is it a war? What is the war? A little firsthand the answers to these questions are known. And the first -grader Lena, who remained with his family in the besieged Leningrad, has to find out on her own experience “what the real war looks like”: what is air anxiety and how to extinguish the “lighter”, what is the real hunger and what, it turns out, the pancakes can be prepared from coffee houses Gushsha, and jelly - from carpentry glue. “Bread of that winter” by Ella Fonyakova is a cast of time, and in many ways an autobiographical story about blockade days, and a piercing story about the most ordinary girl, her family and all Leningrades who did not leave the surrounded city. Illustrations for the book were created by Lyudmila Pipchenko, an artist who, with amazing accuracy, managed to convey the mood of the story and give readers the opportunity to see one of the blockade winters with his own eyes
