The book gives tremendous insight into the woman was had a major influence in convincing her sister Alexis come to Russia to marry Nicholas.Also,good background of the character of Elizabeth who went on to found a religious order in the Russian Orthodox Church after the the savage murder of her husband Serge uncle of Czar Nicholas which took place a month after Bloody Sunday in 1905 in St.Petersburg. A must book for anyone interested in the background of the Revolution.

In reading Elizabeth Grand Duchess of Russia I found it very fascinating. It is a sure hit for Romanov fans and Russian history buffs who want to know about a fascinating woman.

A wonderful, vivid portrayal of a fascinating woman and her extraordinary life. Also gives the reader a clear picture as to the nature of the court of the last Tsarina and her role in the downfall of an empire.

As someone who reads many historical and biographical books, I found this book very interesting. I've read a good bit about Nicholas and Alexandra and family but never read much about Elizabeth. I found the details of all the families involved very fascinating. I also gained much more insight into the Romanov family in general. Very interesting reading also about the children and grandchildren of Queen Victoria.

An unusual subject that has been thoroughly researched and brought to life in a very readable and exciting manner
