The Romanov Bride

📖 Book groups and historical fiction buffs have made Robert Alexanders two previous novels word-of-mouth favorites and national bestsellers. Set against a backdrop of Imperial Russias twilight, The Romanov Bride has the same enduring appeal. The Grand Duchess Elisavyetas story begins like a fairy tale-a German princess renowned for her beauty and kind heart marries the Grand Duke Sergei of Russia and enters the Romanovs lavish court. Her husband, however, rules his wife as he does Moscow-with a cold, hard fist. And, after a peaceful demonstration becomes a bloodbath, the fires of the revolution link Elisavyetas destiny to that of Pavel-a young Bolshevik-forever.
