I have re-read this book several times; it is a wonderful story. I have enjoyed some of Adler's other novels, although not so much the more recent ones; but for me this one was her best. Very compelling stuff.
A great book I couldn't put it down, I am always looking for another book that compares, I read along time ago
Seemed like an interesting plot but it was SLOW. Good character development but everything always worked out too well - rags went to riches about four separate times!
Whatever happened to a priceless piece of the Romanov treasures?
It was an okay book, not as good as others I have read by this author, but engaging and a good read. I need to get on here sooner when I Finish a book...I have read 2 others since March 17th, in addition to massive preschool readings of Grimm, Mother Goose, Hans Christian Anderson, and all the Dr Seuss books in March to celebrate his birthday.
