That small garden hides all the past memories of my mother. No one ever knew. In Alaska in 2000, the sister Meredith, who is like a lioness guarding the family, is tired of trivial matters and has long lost the desire to communicate with her husband who lives with her day and night; the sister Nina, who is like an eagle wandering around the world, is a war reporter. Faced with the proposal of her photographer partner, she fled back to her hometown with complicated thoughts; the unsmiling mother always sits barefoot on a bench in the winter garden and refuses anyone to approach. The death of their father brought them together to relive the fairy tales that their mother had not finished telling for thirty years. In Leningrad in 1941, German troops approached the city, supplies were cut off, and the city became an isolated island. 700,000 People died of starvation. First, her father was arrested for writing poetry, then her husband was drafted to the front line, and then her sister died while digging a trench. Only Aniya, her mother, grandmother, six-year-old daughter and four-year-old son were left struggling to survive in the bone-chilling cold Leningrad. The story begins with a fairy tale and spans 65 years, from war-torn Leningrad to today's Alaska. The two sisters guessed the beginning but not the ending. This story brings these three women together. The moment her mother blurted out a secret that had been buried for many years, it shook the foundation of the family and changed everyone involved. Every once in a while, a writer comes along who navigates the complex and layered world of the human mind. This time, it's Kristen Hannah who gives us an exciting story with an unexpected ending.
