in Germany or Russia? I don't remember very much, but will recognize the book if I read it again.
All I know: It was set in Europe, very cold, most likely Germany or Russia. The characters were either in some sort of labor situation or were soldiers, I recall that items were in demand and if a person died from the cold then their shoes and socks were taken for another person to use. The main character was a young male (possibly a teen), and he had another male traveling with him at some point. I'm pretty sure they were escaping, and I remember that they ate raw chicken eggs after escaping. The title may have something about stones in it, but I am not sure. The novel was written in English.
Please reply if you know of this novel at all.
