Review
"Blackwell skilfully fillets [the] starkest passages [of this dark chapter of history]... In its blunt, end-of-the-road honesty this book exudes a compelling authenticity and poetic power." (Observer)
"Perfectly judged, beautifully executed.... Hunger has been called harrowing, but it is also uplifting. It comes back again and again to the human being's ability to surprise himself, or surprise another, or to be surprised." (Daily Telegraph)
"Haunting- a brilliant account of a violent era which is beautifully written, and very moving." (Publishing News)
Book Description
A short novel of extraordinary power, set in Leningrad during the WWII siege, reminiscent of Rachel Seiffert in both its brevity and its impact.
