Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman by Robert K. Massie
5.0
Such a good book. I knew very little about Catherine the Great before picking this up. I basically knew she was an empress of Russia for a few decades...and that was it.
Normally with non-fiction books I have to take it in chunks, 3-6 chapters at a time, set it down, read something else for a week or more, then go back to it.
However much to my surprise, I could not stop listening to this audiobook. All I wanted was to keep reading/listening and just learn everything about Catherine. Part of that was the narration, the narrator was fantastic, I hope he does the other books by Massie too, but Massie really wrote this in a way that made it easy and exciting to continue.
I cannot wait to read the other books by Massie.
