From the author of the breakout bestseller "The Kitchen Boy," a new novel delving into the mysterious life and death of the notorious Rasputin
With the same riveting historical narrative that made The Kitchen Boy a national bestseller and a book-club favorite, Robert Alexander returns to revolutionary Russia for the harrowing tale of Rasputinas final days as told by his youthful and bold daughter, Maria. Interrogated by the provisional government on the details of her fatheras death, Maria vividly recounts a politically tumultuous Russia, where Rasputinas powerful influence over the throne is unsettling to all levels of society and the threats to his life are no secret. With vast conspiracies mounting against her father, Maria must struggle with the discovery of Rasputinas true natureahis unbridled carnal appetites, mysterious relationship with the empress, rumors of involvement in secret religious cultsato save her father from his murderers. Swept away in a plot much larger than the death of one man, Maria finds herself on the cusp of the Russian Revolution itself. With "Rasputinas Daughter," Robert Alexander once again delivers an imaginative and compelling story, fashioned from one of historyas most fascinating characters who, until now, has been virtually unexplored in fiction.
