The Madonnas of Leningrad by Debra Dean. Russian emigre Marina Buriakov, 82, is preparing for her granddaughter's wedding near Seattle while fighting a losing battle against Alzheimer's. Stuggling to remember whom Katie is marrying, Marina does remember her youth as a Hermitage Museum docent as the siege of Leningrad began; it is into these memories that she disappears.
