Book Review: Romanov

Image
You have heard of the famous Romanov Family, Heirs to the Russian throne and killed by Bolshevik soldiers for the Communism rule. May I give you.... ROMANOV by Nadine Brandes I'm a junkie for historical books. No matter the period I am there ready to earn about something different and Nadine is very good a mixing historical non-fiction with fiction.  Warning there will be spoilers for both historically and the novel.  First, the book cover.... The cover actually gives away very little in this novel. It's uses the rich colours of red ad gold against the black background which looked at the Wealth of the Romanov family. A small figure is on the cover along with a beautiful image of the Alexander Palace in St Petersburg. The quote embodies the whole mystery surrounding the Romanov family: Not even royal blood can stop bullets. Characters The main characters are the Romanov Royal Family - Tsar Nicolas II, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna and their children Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Alexei
