Title: An epic of two girls and the Russia they both love.
Review: This is the first, and in my opinion, best book in the Russians series, which tells the story of the aristocratic Fedorcenkos, the humble Burenins, and their homeland as revolts and war assail it.The Burenins' poverty forces their daughter Anna to go to St. Petersburg and work on the vast Fedorcenko estate. Soon, she becomes personal maid to the Princess Katrina Fedorcenko. Though the shy, selfless maid and bold, willful princess are opposites, they become close friends, and as Anna learns the ways of the aristocracy, her faith slowly changes the fiery Katrina. But revolution and war loom darkly over Russia, and both watch helplessly as war erupts in their beloved Motherland.This is an excellent book in a good series, and it contains a wealth of information about Russia. The characters are vividly lifelike and the story is captivating in spite of a few slow places. I highly recommend it.
