Good ... but not "Grand"
"The Last Grand Duchess" is a serviceable, if uninspired retelling of the fall of the Romanov dynasty as seen though the eyes of Olga, the eldest of the Tsar's five children. I found the characters rather thinly drawn, and the frequent, alternating timelines distracting, but in the end, these shortcomings led me to further research ... always a plus! The reference list of characters, select bibliography, and informative Author's Notes were welcome additions, and the "twist" at the story's end a pleasant surprise.

The Last Grand Duchess
I really wanted to like/love this book but could not get into it. I love the cover and was excited to read about Olga Romanov and the fall of the Tsar and the Russian revolution. I did not care for the back and forth telling of the story and just did not care about any of the characters. I usually love historical fiction but this was not for me.
