Onward and Upward

RECENTLY READ: City of Thieves by David Benioff

I can’t remember the last book I stayed up till 2 in the morning to finish. Amanda Peet’s husband weaves a playful, gripping tale about two young men from besieged Stalingrad in search of eggs. So much lurking beneath the surface, and an ending sequence that barrels forward as if Benioff wrote screenplays (he does).
