Book Summary
What A Wonderful Book! The Storytelling, The Research, The Deep Love Of Her Subject -- This Must Be The Climax Of Rappaports Long And Illustrious Career Lucy Worsley To Queen Victoria She Was Aunt Julie; To Catherine The Great She Was Grand Duchess Anna Feodorovna, Granddaughter-In-Law. This Is The Story Of Princess Juliane-Henriette-Ulrike Of Saxe-Coburg, The Rebel Romanov. Born In 1781 In A Small Impoverished Duchy Of Germany, Julies Quiet Life Took A Fairy-Tale Turn When She Married Into The Russian Imperial Family - The Romanovs. But This World Of Baroque Splendour, Of Opulent Palaces And Grandeur, Was No Happily Ever After. Taken To Russia At Just Fourteen, Her Marriage Was Hastily Brokered To Save The Saxe-Coburg Duchy From Financial Ruin. Her Husband, Grand Duke Konstantin, Was Cruel And Abusive, Julie Was Uprooted From Her Home, Family, Language And Culture. As Russia And Europe Were Thrown Into Tumult By The Murder Of Emperor Paul And The Rise Of Napoleon, Julie Finally Made Her Escape Back To Germany, Where She Lived For Two Decades As A Social Pariah, Denied A Divorce By The Imperial Family. Forced To Give Up Two Illegitimate Children To Protect Her Familys Honour, She Eventually Built A Life For Herself In Switzerland, Where She Entertained Poets And Philosophers, Regaling Them With Tales From The Russian Court. Helen Rappaport Recreates The Extraordinary Life Of This Forgotten Figure. In Doing So She Sheds New Light On The Romanovs, Reveals The Sacrifices Julie Made To Further Her Familys Interests - Her Brother Became King Of Belgium, Her Sister Gave Birth To Queen Victoria - And Investigates The True Nature Of Julies Relationship With Tsar Alexander I. Rich In History, Drama And Royal Intrigue, Julies Remarkable Story Is Told At Last.
