Summary
In Joseph Stalin's early 1930s Russia, an entire class of people were at risk of exploitation. Valeyria and Alexei Yolkin were members of one such family.
It was a freezing day when the first Yolkin siblings turned on another. With the young children listening in fear below in the darkness, they heard their uncle Eduard giving orders to kill their mother and father. The only girl, Valeyria, aged just seven, had a sudden desire for revenge, it consumed her. She hated her uncle Eduard and she wanted him to die - by her hands, if she could.
But would her thirst for revenge lead her to her final dawn and cloud her judgement? Will she take it too far and turn on those she is supposed to love?

Lovely Narrative But Just Getting Started
Enjoyed this book i just wanted more. I wanted the story to carry on and felt it stopped early. Melanie Fraser's narration, was as always, impeccable and helped the listener through all the different characters.

The Final Dawn
Any additional comments?
On a freezing day in Stalins Russia,three children hide.Above them their parents are being executed...by their Uncle.This is a story of intolorence,hate and cruelty.It was well written.It was a short novel,but I thought that each childs storyline could have been fleshed out a bit more.It seems that nothing but this 1 event shaped them 100%.
Melanie Fraser did a fine job with the characters voices.

Powerful Story
This tale of sorrow, betrayal and revenge (some may say justice), is a well researched look at the old USSR and the actions and emotions of a few. It jumps in time and back for a deeper understanding of motives...very well done. It is well written and beautifully narrated, which brought alive this powerful story. I don't give spoilers but will say that if you listen to The Final Dawn, it will reach your heart and remain.
Recommended.

Five stars plus!
When this story came to its end, I realized that I had listened all the way through without a single break. Amazing!
It wasn't only the story that I found so entertaining, but the superb narration by Melanie Fraser.
Definitely two very talented people bringing us a totally captivating tale and I am definitely recommending this book which is full of hate, revenge, trust and the betrayal of that trust.
I was given a free audiobook by the narrator and this is my unbiased review.
