First, know that i love Russian history and admire Catherine the Great.
This book bounces between the trials and tribulations of present day Russian auction expert, Tanya Vandermotter , and the married life of Catherine to Peter. The Order of Catherine ( a be-ribboned medallion) is what connects the two storylines
This book? Could have been better..... could have been worse!

Finally a book about Ukraine's plight. A woman's split-minute's decision will torment her for a long time, but she has to make it - for better or worse, for the sake of her daughter's survival. Not a fairy tale type of story by any means, but one with raw, uncomfortable self-searching, poignant hesitations and unwelcome discoveries; the author's good knowledge of all things "Ukrainian" and "Russian Ukrainian", and above all - bringing to light war atrocities in Ukraine.

I looked forward to reading this and am sad that I didn't like it. Didn't like Anna at all. I thought the author describing her boobs (and the words used) not once but twice in the few pages I read was really weird.

Very hard not to think about the current escalated situation in Ukraine while reading this, though it was a change to see Nadia's more complex perspective, hearing slurs against ethnic Ukrainians that she didn't like but above all wanting to keep her daughter and herself safe.… (altro)
