The Last Grand Duchess
"Reads like a symphony, the last notes of the Romanovs vanishing with a
staggering and tragic beauty." Erika Robuck, National bestselling author
of The Invisible Woman
Booklist Starred Review: "The Last Grand Duchess depicts a real family,
with all their eccentricities and dynamics, while weaving in key details
of the real Romanovs... both inspired and truthful."
Publishers Weekly: "Turnbull again successfully humanizes a family of
powerful historical figures... with a gift at making Olga's situation
painfully tangible. This amply justifies taking another look at the
lives of the condemned royals."
Library Journal: "Turnbull pries off the veneer that masked Olga as a
blue-blooded victim of the Bolshevik Revolution; instead, she gives Olga
a three-dimensional personhood with a verve that evokes Scarlett
O'Hara... an entrancing tribute."
Historical Novel Society Editor's Choice: "I loved this novel, chiefly
because of its deft characterizations... Even the most flawed characters
have their redeeming points: there's not a cardboard villain to be
found. Superbly written and researched, this is a novel I will be
reading again."
