Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman by Robert K. Massie

4.0

This was dense, and I probably wouldn’t have stuck it out if it weren’t for watching The Great on Hulu. I enjoyed reading the true stories the show is *very* loosely based on. I’m totally in awe of Catherine and her accomplishments, and it was just really fun reading this and realizing how well such a fictionalized show captured her spirit and idealism!
