At Town & Country Lauren Hubbard and Norman Vanamee tagged eight of the best books to explore the history of the Romanov family. One title on the list:
The Romanovs: 1613-1918 by Simon Sebag MontefioreRead about another entry on the list.
This is the book to read if you want a sweeping, well-told account of the Romanovs’ entire three-century reign. Montefiore, who has written well-regarded books on Stalin, Catherine the Great’s relationship with Prince Potemkin, and Jerusalem, among others, has a wonderful ability to pinpoint crucial moments and recount them in a way that brings individuals and complex personal and political dynamics to life.
