Set during Hitler's siege of Leningrad, Elise Blackwell's beautiful debut novel is the deeply moving story of one man's confrontation with his own morality. A scientist, but a man of powerful personal appetites, unexpectedly finds himself with a choice that is informed too much by his private hungers. The danger he faces is betraying not only the woman he loves but also the principles he holds most dear.
