This is kind of an odd story - or at least the format is. The main gist is that twins Nadya and Viktor were sent away from their hometown to keep them safe after the German invasion of Russia. But they were separated. The story, told in diary entries and photos and documents by both children tells of their struggles to survive and to find each other. The interesting part is that the book itself is an "investigation" into their crimes during this time by a top Russian. Throughout the book he makes notes in their entries about the crimes they are committing, etc.
I really liked the format and story at first but to me it got really long and tired by the end. For readers who are really into a historical jaunt - especially Russia in WWII I think they will enjoy it.
