I chose this one because my Dad recommended it. I am interested in the European and Russian monarchies around the time of the Victorian Era. This book details the lives of five of Queen Victoria's granddaughters (one of which is Alexandra, wife of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, who was killed along with her husband and children by revolutionaries). A good read so far!

This is an interesting (but long) read about the monarchies of Europe during the early 20th century. My only problem was my own and that was keeping up with all of the family members and where they fit in the family. Very well written and researched.
