Compelling and historically significant woman,
By
This review is from: Catherine, Empress of all the Russias (Hardcover)
While other biographies of Catherine the Great may be more sensational, this comprehensive telling of her life is engaging without reading like a tabloid. With a life as entertaining as this, there is not much need for sensationalizing.;)Cronin expertly delves into the life of one of Russia's great rulers. His telling of her life gives glimpses into other parts of Russian history. The Russian Orthodox church, the lives of royalty, the intertwining of art and politics. The pains of her odd marriage, her ascent to the throne and her need to become her own master will strike a chord with many women. I recommend it for anyone who would like to get to know this unusual and powerful woman. |
