I have always loved history (it was actually my minor in college!), but The Romanov’s history fascinates me the most. I find it so intriguing, with what happened to the Tsar Nicholas and Alexandra and their five children. This book is perfect if that type of history interests you as well. The author Robert Alexander did his research and put together this amazing book about the final days of Nicholas and Alexandra through the eyes of a kitchen boy named Leonka. The boy claims to be the last living witness to the Romanovs’ brutal murders. I highly recommend this book and give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Synopsis:
Drawing from decades of work, travel, and research in Russia, Robert Alexander re-creates the tragic, perennially fascinating story of the final days of Nicholas and Alexandra Romanov as seen through the eyes of their young kitchen boy, Leonka. Now an ancient Russian immigrant, Leonka claims to be the last living witness to the Romanovs’ brutal murders and sets down the dark secrets of his past with the imperial family. Does he hold the key to the many questions surrounding the family’s murder? Historically vivid and compelling, The Kitchen Boy is also a touching portrait of a loving family that was in many ways similar, yet so different, from any other.
