capellan 's review for:

Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie
4.0

Well written and researched but at times tough to read due to the slow motion car crash nature of it all. It's quite uncomfortable to read as two basically decent people who loved each other, their children and their country manage to continually make the wrong choices - often *because* of the love they felt - and ultimately bring to ruin everyone and everything they cared for so deeply.
