Hunger Angel

''I know you''ll return.'' These are his grandmother''s last words to him. Leo has them in his head as he boards the truck to Russia one freezing mid-January morning in 1945. They keep him alive - through hunger, pain, and despair - during his time in the Gulag. And, eventually, they will bring him back home. M�ller has distilled Leo''s struggle into words of breathtaking intensity that take us on a journey far beyond one man''s physical travails and into the depths of the human soul.
