This is a fictional retelling of the lives of King Ludwig II of Bavaria and Sisi (Elizabeth), Empress of Austria. These royal cousins shared many relatives and also shared some common traits. They both held an appreciation for beauty, music and arts, and also a desire for escaping their royal responsibilities. Ludwig and Sisi each also experienced tragedies and were in unhappy or unsatisfying personal, family, and romantic relationships. The audiobook was narrated well and would recommend this to anyone that enjoys this time period. Although this is a work of fiction, it is based on facts and actual events.
