Dear readers, relatives, Mom...
I am taking a brief holiday from the blog this week--my first since embarking upon this rewarding project! It also seems like a wonderful opportunity to say thank you for the many stimulating conversations and words of encouragement and support, for which I am truly grateful. Next week, we will pick up once again with Rasputin: Faith, Power, and the Twilight of the Romanovs by Douglas Smith. Rich in contrasting imagery--from the bleak planes of Siberia to the gilded extravagance of the Winter Palace--this colossal biography will satisfy anyone with an appetite for Imperial Russia and its accompanying themes of glamour, mysticism, tragedy and hysteria.
See you next week!
Kathryn
