Mar 28, Lauren Albert rated it it was ok Shelves: This seemed to be a lot of disconnected anecdotes about artists during the Romanov period.
I didn't see any overarching argument and I felt that the Romanov's themselves often got short shrift. Jul 23, Riley rated it it was ok. This book had a worthy theme that wasn't very well executed.
