I've just finished reading this week, Julia Gelardi's - Born to Rule. The book, as you may have gathered from the picture is about the Granddaughters of Queen Victoria or to be precise five of the Granddaughters. She has selected these five as they went on to be Queens in their own right.
The one that always stands out is, of course the Tsarina Alexandra of Russia. The turmoil of the country she lived in, coupled with the tragedy of how the whole family met their deaths is a story that we all know. I have read a number of books on the subject and wondered how Julia would present this differently.
