The Power of Imagination
Debra Dean's The Madonnas of Leningrad explores the importance of memory and imagination. During the Seige of Leningrad, docent Marina takes shelter within the Hermitage along with other staff members, protecting the museum's priceless works of art. In the present, Marina struggles to separate her recollections from reality as her memory starts to deteriorate. A very quick and engaging read.
