The Kitchen Boy: A Novel of the Last Tsar
by Robert Alexander
This was a very entertaining book about the imprisonmnent and execution of the Romanov family (the last Tsar of Russia). Entertaining is a strange word to use for such a grave subject, but in this case it is an appropriate choice.
The book is about an elderly man who lives in America and is preparing for his death. In doing so he makes a recording for his granddaughter that retells the story of the last days of the Romanov family. In the tape the man reveals that he was the lowly kitchen boy in the house that ultimately became the conduit through which the Romanov's were able to send and receive correspondence to the outside world.
There is still a lot of unanswered questions about this tragic event in history. It has been an interest of mine for many years, this book will be added to my section of Romanov books to be read by anyone likewise intrigued.
