About this listen

In May 1937, a man in his early 30s waits by the lift of a Leningrad apartment block. He waits all through the night, expecting to be taken away to the Big House. Any celebrity he has known in the previous decade is no use to him now, and few who are taken to the Big House ever return.

Captivating tale

I was gripped by this tale centred around the life of Shostakovich and his position in the Russian musical scene in Stalinist times and then during the reign of Krushuchev. I have been listening to his music nonstop after completing this wonderful novel.
