The Imperial Wife by Irina Reyn

4.0

"For a marriage to survive, sometimes the husband has to die." It wasn't until the final twist was revealed that this tantalizing tagline seemed appropriate for both modern and historical storylines. That's part of this book's charm, because the endless parallels between Catherine the Great and present-day Tanya are left to the reader to figure out. While some of the descriptions felt a bit overdone, this is recommended for anyone who enjoys novels that mix past and present, from any period.
