c2012., Adult, Random House Call No: Fic Har Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "St. Petersburg, 1917: As the new year dawns, a diver pulls the murdered body of Rasputin, the Mad Monk, from the icy waters of the Neva River. Hours later, his daughters are taken to the Tsar's palace as wards of the Romanovs, where the Tsarina makes a shocking request: would Masha, 18, take her father's place at the sickbed of the tsarevitch Alyosha? Shaken, Masha agrees to do what she can for the imperious young prince, haunted as she is by questions about her father's powers and her future in a country accelerating toward political apocalypse. Two months later, the Bolshevik Revolution forces the Tsar to abdicate, and the whole royal family is placed under arrest in the Alexander Palace. Trapped together in increasingly harsh living conditions, Masha and Alyosha find themselves taking increasing solace in one another's company. The two teenagers, with radically different experiences of Russia, of Rasputin, and of Alyosha's parents' unlucky reign, create a private realm of magic and of love, as Masha introduces the young tsarevitch to a wild and beautiful land he will never live to rule. An unusual, gorgeously told love story, and a rich tapestry of unparalleled storytelling, Enchantments brings to life the final days of Rasputin and the Romanovs. It is a breathtaking tour-de-force by one of our most acclaimed writers."--Publisher.

2012., Chatto & Windus Call No: 941.0810 H875s Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Based on the letters and diaries of six members of Queen Victoria's household,Serving Victoriaoffers unique insight into the queen and her court. Seen through the eyes of her servants-including the governess to the royal children, her maid of honor, her chaplain, and her personal physician-Victoria emerges as more vulnerable, more emotional, more selfish, more comical than the austere figure depicted in her portraits.We see a woman prone to fits of giggles, who wept easily and often, who shrank from confrontation yet insisted on controlling the lives of those around her. We witness her extraordinary and debilitating grief at the death of her husband, Albert, and her sympathy toward the tragedies that afflicted her household.A perfect foil to the pomp and circumstance, prudery and conservatism that has become synonymous with Victoria's reign,Serving Victoriais an unforgettable glimpse of what it meant to serve the queen.
