![]() ![]() The author, Gregory, touches on the most salient points of Catherine's journey into Russia to meet the Empress and to become betrothed to the crown prince. The historical accuracy is superb and provides a valuable insight into the early life of Catherine, while being rich and personal enough to compel more than a historical interest from the reader. This book would be highly approachable for children and adults of all ages. This novel, fictionally 'written' by Catherine, follows Troyat's own work closely and is remarkably consistent with the facts of Catherine's early life, and with the tone of Catherine's personality and style. Catherine the Great is of interest to me, having read Henri Troyat's superb rendition of her life and reign. Here is another wonderful Royal Diary addition. ![]() Historically Accurate, Personally Griping ![]()
