Bryn and I discuss The Last Grand Duchess, why she decided to focus on Olga's story, telling the family's personal story, how the Romanovs are the most documented family in history, why the Romanovs were ill-suited to rule of Russia, Olga's political astuteness, and much more.
Bryn’s recommended reads are:
Bloomsbury Girls by Natalie Jenner
Letters Across the Sea by Genevieve Graham
The Lost Chapter by Caroline Bishop
