review:
'The Lions of Leningrad' by Jean-Claude Van Rijckeghem with art by Thomas Du Caju is a graphic novel about a group of young friends during the siege of Leningrad.

In a framing story that takes place in 1962, a concert hall is attacked by a gunman. It turns out the first chair violin has a history with the gunman and the flashbacks begin. The friends from her childhood come from different backgrounds and experiences, but they play together and even survive together.

This is a pretty good story of friendship and betrayal during war and communism. The characters stories take twists and turns as they try to survive. The art is solid and I enjoyed reading it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dead Reckoning and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
