Reader's note

Zoé Oldenbourg, one of the world’s great historical novelists, has turned to biography for the first time in her career. The result is a splendid book. Oldenbourg’s story of Russia’s incredible empress is far more exciting than most novels, infinitely better written than most histories. But it is not the politics of Catherine’s reign that Oldenbourg has sought to depict in this book; it is the woman who became empress that she has brought to life. By concentrating on Catherine’s early years, Oldenbourg has succeeded in explaining a woman who has remained an enigma, even to her biographers. Just one of the many antique, rare and obscure books available on our online vintage bookstore.
