A review by dashausfrau
Enchantments by Kathryn Harrison

4.0

A different take on the mysterious and notorious Rasputin though the eyes of his daughter. I rated the book highly because I thought the different stories weaved back & forth in time in a very effective story. This offsets the inevitable ending that everyone knows for the Tsar and his family. However, I hesitated to give it 4 stars because so much of the premise of the plot seems to revolve around how sad it would be if the Tsar's teen son died a virgin & creating a story where he was spared that horror.
