Title: Book sunk by it's title.
Product review: Other reviewers have pointed out the obvious, she was, poor soul, no beauty.Victoria Melita hadn't a prayer of being the last uncrowned Empress of Russia. She was not converted to the Orthodox religion when she married Grand Duke Kirill, she was a divorcee and they [Victoria and Kirill] were first cousins. Such a dynasty had, [indeed still has], written laws for the succession and this pair didn't qualify. Ever. Sorry folks.Written in a style that would make Angela Brazil blush I found it unreadable after a few chapters. I had the feeling that the author had an image of how he thought Victoria Melita was and proceeded to shape the historical figure to suit his image of her. Reading the many reviews of this book I am shocked how so many people are taken in by such rubbish as this and glad to see that it's also still not possible to fool all of the people all of the time.
