Sunlight at Midnight

I read W. Bruce Lincoln's Sunlight at Midnight: St. Petersburg and the Rise of Modern Russia this week and enjoyed it very much. It's more than just a history of St. Petersburg and discusses a variety of topics, especially Petersburg's architecture and culture. The chapter on the siege of Leningrad was particularly good. Recommended.

Wish I could find it at the library and read it while we're here!

You can read it instead when you get back and are missing SP.
