I've never been to Russia, but poet Boris Pasternak made me feel as if I could see with my very own eyes the long beautiful snow covered hills of the country side and the beauty of Moscow before and still during the hardships of the Russian Revolution.

| | 4. |  | The Curse of the Romanovs
from Margaret K. McElderry
Price: $12.23
Customer Review:
As the Romanov family is one of favorite subjects in history I picked up this book. While it was a great story (historical fiction account), I didn't like that the author towards the end of the book portrayed Rasputin in a good light.

I am enjoying this book immensely. I was looking for a good intermediate source to transition me from a Wiki-level knowledge of the RR (which I already had) to the point where I felt capable of tackling a professional academic tome on the RR (which I would like to someday do).
