If you like Russian history or would like to learn more, this book is for you. It’s 1892 and Maria Romanov, dowager empress, narrates the last years of the Romanov Dynasty. The great family matriarch relates the greed, jealousy, competition, infidelity, and sorrow within the Romanovs. Even though the Nihilists and Bolshevicks sought to undermine their lavish lifestyle and control, Maria believed Royal Russia would survive. Little did she realize!
