The Romanovs: 1613-1918 is by Simon Sebag Montefiore. A very long nonfiction look at the history of the Romanovs. It is a slow read, but it is well researched and minutely documented. The history of Russia's longest ruling family is filled with sex, mental illness, a desire for power, and heroic displays by both the men and women of the family. It is worth the effort to read if you are at all interested in Russian history.
Ratings 6 out of 10 - Adult - AC (mature thematic content).
