Historical fiction would probably be my favourite genre and this did not disappoint. The Grand Duchess of Nowhere, Victoria Melita (granddaughter of Queen Victoria), married her Romanov cousin and moved from Bavaria to Petrograd. This story encompasses WWI and the Russian Revolution but focuses on 'Ducky', as she is known, only touching on the other members of Russian royalty. I did appreciate the epilogue where it covered the latter years. Nice to read about Russia from a perspective other than Nicholas & Alexandra, albeit still the privileged side.
