CITY OF THIEVES Â by DAVID BENIOFF - “I ran out of things to tell my child as excuses for not putting down this book. I finally simply said ‘I have to finish this’, and I must have looked like I meant it. The story is the tale an old man tells his grandson of his experience in Leningrad during the war. Two young strangers are thrown together, forced to perform an impossible task under an equally impossible deadline. A war story, part buddy book, part coming of age, City of Thieves is dark and awful and horrifying, and so unbearably tender and funny. “ Leslie Reiner at Inkwood Books
