A review by museofnightmares
Romanov by Nadine Brandes
4.0
“Healing. Forgiveness. Shared story. The promise of walking life with someone who knew my bloodied past. A hand willing to touch the skin of a Romanov and feel only joy.”
This is a proper re-telling of the story I have been fascinated with, ever since I was a little girl. I cherish both historical event and theatre re-production, and this novel perfectly fits into my ‘Romanov repertoire’. It is a blessing that books can share informative events, into fairytale-like stories, and that I, who am now grown and mature, can take a piece of my lifelong obsession with me. This was truly, a journey to the past. A fossil to my heart.
“And hope never abandoned us - only we could abandon it.”
