After the Romanovs: Russian Exiles in Paris from the Belle Époque Through Revolution and War by Helen Rappaport
emotional
informative
sad
slow-paced
5.0
Helen Rappaport never misses when she writes about the final days of Imperial Russia.
Most of her books focus on the last Tsar and his family, so it was very interesting to learn more about what happened to the Romanov relatives and the aristocracy.
Rappaport uses a casual writing style that makes it easier to remain engaged with the information. This book was a little less conversational than some of her other books, but is still an excellent narrative history.
