Much like when I read The Kitchen Boy, Robert Alexander has me hooked on Russian History and intrigue. This is well told and heart breaking story of the Russian revolution featuring a Princess of the realm, and a peasant calling for freedom and revenge. I am awestruck and even today, I, along with his characters, wish there could have been a better way. Alexander’s greatest gift is how, despite knowing this story’s end, he keeps you guessing and hoping for change. Bravo.
