Helpful Score: 2

This was an absolutely wonderful book. The characters are realistic as well as the plot. You see this period in Russia from many, many different viewpoints and it is shocking how amazingly well each character is portrayed and how you sympathize with them. You sympathize with revolutionaries, when it is a revolutionary viewpoint and you sympathize with Princess Katrina Fedorcenko when it is hers. Most of all you sympathize with Anna Yevnovna, a 16 year old girl who goes from peasant, to kitchen servant, to maid to a princess. Judith Pella and Michael Phillips are amazing co-authors.
