ST CATHERINE'S CROWN BY S. MARTIN SHELTON is a historical fiction in which Princess Anastasia Romanov survived the murder of her family back in 1918. In the novel Anastasia is gravely wounded and is cared for and nursed back to health by the Czechs aboard a traveling hospital train. During her stay she changes not only her name but her looks to become another person as she knows she is still being hunted down.
I love historical fiction and ST CATHERINE'S CROWN is no different. The author plunges the reader back into old Russia. You can feel and "see" what the conditions and the lives were for the people trying to survive Lenin's nightmare. I had to keep reminding myself that this is a work of fiction not real. Real or not,the author did a great job at putting the reader into the story. In all fairness , there are a few spots in the book,not many where it got to be a little slow but all in all well worth the read if you love historical fiction.
I received this e book free in exchange for an honest review.
